Prediction of the Optimal Drilling Mud Weight Based on the Normalized Yielded Zone Area (NYZA) in One of the Iranian Oil Fields

Hole problems experienced during the drilling phase of operations are often the consequence of mechanical wellbore instability. This leads to higher than necessary drilling costs. The only controllable factor that can prevent wellbore instability is the drilling mud. In this study, the optimal drill...
