Influence of the Weakening Effect of Drilling Fluid on Wellbore Stability in Anisotropic Shale Formation

For horizontal wells in Longmaxi Formation, oil-based drilling fluid that soaks for a long time is more likely to cause a wellbore collapse. Therefore, in this paper, the downhole core method of shale formation, in Longmaxi Formation, was adopted. First, rock samples were selected from different sam...
