Interests in the design of water-based muds(WBM) have escalated due to wellbore instability issues that arise from the abundance of problematic shales encountered while drilling. Conventional water-based muds(WBMs) that are used to drill through water sensitive shale formations cause a high degree of wellbore instability. Consequently, oil based muds(OBMs) were adopted to solve the wellbore instability problems due to their superior shale stabilization properties. Unfortunately, high costs, environmental restrictions, cuttings and used mud disposal difficulties and safety have largely limited the use of OBMs. As a result of these challenges with OBMs, WBMs that have the ability to effectively reduce shale instability problems have once again come under the lime light to replace the OBMs. Potassiumbased (KCL)muds are used in areas where inhibition is required to limit chemical alteration of shales. This research study therefore was undertaken to evaluate the inhibition effects of different concentrations of KCL on the rheological properties of water-based mud(WBM) contaminated with shale.
