Enhancing Drilling Operations: A Case Study in Wellbore Stability and Environmental Responsibility This paper, published in the Journal of Engineering and Applied Science [7(10), 1-38], investigates a wellbore instability encountered during oil well drilling in Sudan (https://lnkd.in/eDNsbdV3). The wellbore collapsed due to an inadequately weighted drilling fluid, allowing formation material to enter the well. Our study identifies key factors contributing to this instability, including formation pressure and the presence of heavy metals within the rock formations. To prevent similar incidents in the future, we recommend a more comprehensive wellbore stability assessment prior to drilling. This assessment would consider not only wellbore integrity and formation preservation but also effective mud waste control to minimize environmental impact.
