Investigating the Effect of Fluid and Formation Parameters on Mud Cake Thickness, Filtration Velocity and Invasion Depth

Mud cake formation is a layer of mud emulsion that is formed from the drilling fluids during the drilling operation. Filtration process of drilling mud takes place as the drilling operation in carried out under a certain condition called overbalanced conditions, which means that the pressure of dril...
