Remote Detection of the Electric Field Change Induced at the Seismic Wave Front from the Start of Fault Rupturing by Yukio Fujinawa, Kozo Takahashi, Yoichi Noda, Hiroshi Iitaka, Shinobu Yazaki

“…We suggest that the measured electric field changes are produced by the electrokinetic effect through increased pore water pressure of the seismic pulse. It is also suggested that the long range propagation is due to the surface wave mode confined near the interface of the different conductivity. …”

Modelling of Time-Dependent Wellbore Collapse in Hard Brittle Shale Formation under Underbalanced Drilling Condition by Shanpo Jia, Zhiqiang Xiao, Bisheng Wu, Caoxuan Wen, Lufeng Jia

“…The results show that the wellbore enlargement rate increases with the drilling fluid immersion time and the influence of different parameters on the wellbore enlargement rate is different. The water absorption diffusion coefficient and the activity of the drilling fluid have the most obvious influence on the expansion of the wellbore, and the sensitivity is strong. …”
