Reaming is a common finishing process for improving the drilled holes surface quality. Choosing an appropriate finishing method in drilling process has a significant effect on the surface quality of holes and in decreasing the process total cost and time. In this study, four similar holes were drilled on the AISI 4340 workpiece with different two pair feed rates. The drilling process was perfor...

The operation experience of horizontal segment well in the southern Sichuan area within hard brittle shale layer Longmaxi formation demonstrates that high-density oil-based drilling fluid (HDOF) induced down-hole working condition, which is typically high-temperature, high-pressure and solid-phase-dominant, will directly impact stability wellbore wall. Focusing on bottom-hole osmotic pressure s...
