Utility
Drilling mode sequence control
25 Oct 22
A method can include receiving data for a borehole trajectory in a formation, a length of pipe, and a bottom hole assembly that includes a mud motor and a bit; generating a sequence for operation of the mud motor using a model of at least the bit, where the sequence includes a sliding mode and a rotary mode for drilling the borehole in the formation a distance less than or equal to the length of pipe; and drilling the borehole according to the sequence.

Utility
Methods for wellbore strengthening
18 Oct 22
A wellbore fluid may include an oleaginous fluid forming a continuous phase; a non-oleaginous fluid forming a discontinuous phase; at least one emulsifier stabilizing an emulsion of the non-oleaginous continuous phase within the oleaginous continuous phase; and at least one viscosifier dispersed into the oleaginous continuous phase in a concentration of at least 4 ppb; wherein upon subjecting the wellbore fluid to shear rate of at least 10,000 s-1, the emulsion is disrupted and the non-oleaginous fluid contacts the at least one viscosifier, thereby solidifying the wellbore fluid.
