Project description
the topic listed above has to do with the shale fluid interactions when drilling an oil/gas well. Needs to be written by someone who knows Petroleum Engineering if possible€¦

Instructions for Paper
Paper should be written as if it were to be published as a scholarly work ? so no title page ? no table of contents. This paper is only to be used as an end of course submittal for the undergraduate level Drilling II course at my particular university. That being said it needs to be compiled and written as if it comes from a graduate level student. I am asking for your help in this matter due to do time constraints and this is not my area of specialty.
Topic: Chemical Shale Instability & Inhibition
Areas in which the paper could be directed towards?
a. The use of drilling fluids in respect to the different types of shale?s that may be encountered
b. The properties of individual drilling fluids in relation to the wellbore stability while drilling in the vertical, curve, and lateral sections.
c. The development of new shale inhibitors
