...M. Ozdemirtas; T. Babadagli; E. Kuru Abstract Borehole ballooning or breathing is commonly observed during drilling through fractured zones. It refers to small, partial, and continuous mud losses and significant rapid mud gains due to annular pressure fluctuations resulting from mud circulation...

...) are found to have appreciable strike extent (>300 m) with steeply dipping (60°–75°) to vertical attitude. These conductors are interpreted to extend ≥75 m into the basement from the overlying sediments. The ballooned-up zones of low apparent resistivity especially in the sediments, associated with one...

... acquisition scheme based on a torus-shaped helium-filled balloon carrying the loop and moving it rapidly from one to the next measurement position along the profile lines. We have referred to this system as Torus-NMR. We have showed the feasibility of the system to deliver reliable results using common...

... volcanic tuffs (lithified ash), claystone and siltstone ( Watson et al. 2017 ). These drilling issues have included drilling fluid loss, bit balling (clogging), borehole breakouts and wellbore ‘ballooning’, where lost drilling fluid later returns to the wellbore. We propose that these drilling events can...

... along the small diameter of the intrusion, and an intense deformation of the host rocks, especially at the western margin, all are evidence that the intrusion was ballooning during the late stages of its emplacement. Ascent and emplacement of the Chah-Musa body is ascribed to the tensional space...

...Kristina Keating; Mike Müller-Petke; Ahmad A. Berhoozmand; Jean-François Girard; Lin Jun 2016 Society of Exploration Geophysicists Dlugosch et al. use a near-surface slim-borehole NMR tool to detect and characterize a thin oil layer. The authors improve the tool’s performance...

... to deploy in a vault or borehole, combined infrasound and seismic observations enable the atmospheric contributions to the seismic data to be reduced algorithmically, akin to a “virtual vault” ( Charalambous et al. , 2021 ).
