ENGINEERED METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR WELLBORE STRENGTHENING IN SUBTERRANEAN OPERATIONS.

摘要

A method of wellbore strengthening may include providing a wellbore strengthening fluid comprising a drilling fluid, a particulate, and a fiber; introducing the wellbore strengthening fluid into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation; and forming a plug comprising the particulate and the fiber in a void near the wellbore, the plug being capable of maintaining integrity at about 1000 psi or greater overbalance pressure.
