Numerical Simulation of Bridging Ball Plugging Mechanism in Fractured-Vuggy Carbonate Reservoirs

Pores, fractures, caves, and other storage spaces are commonly distributed in fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs. During the drilling process, more than half of all drill-in fluid loss issues are caused by developed caves. Cave scales range from centimeters to meters, making leak prevention increa...
