Effects of inhibitor KCl on shale expansibility and mechanical properties
The expansibility and mechanical properties of shale are significantly influenced by water-based muds (WBMs); thus, it is necessary to mitigate this effect to avoid borehole instabilities in drilling operation. Potassium chloride (KCl) is usually used as inhibitor to reduce hydration of shales. In t...
