Abstract
During drilling operations, especially Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and offshore applications with moderate to severe mud loss, the operation window should be modified by taking mud loss-induced thermal stresses into account. The mud type, wellbore geometry, circulation rate, and other parameters affect the magnitude of shift in critical mud weight during mud loss, hence evaluations should be based on specific cases.
