Prediction and Early Detection of Karsts—An Overview of Methods and Technologies for Safer Drilling in Carbonates

The nature of carbonate deposition as well as diagenetic processes can cause the development of unique geological features such as cavities, vugs and fractures. These are called karsts. Encountering karsts while drilling can lead to serious consequences such as severe mud losses, drops of bottom hol...
