Achieving optimal wellbore stability during drilling operations is paramount for ensuring successful completion of hydrocarbons. Managed pressure drilling (MPD) has emerged as a sophisticated technique to enhance wellbore integrity.

Drilling and constructing wells in soft shale formations presents a significant challenge due to the inherent instability of these geological structures. Wellbore stability analysis is crucial for predicting and mitigating potential ruptures that can result costly downtime, ecological damage, and
