RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Difficult post to makeRetiredgeo, I want to block them outright! I don't want them reading my posts!!!!! So you're a retired geologist. My highest respect for you! Geology is something I have a hard time visualizing. It's like a movie in the sense that you have to visualize all of the changes over millions of years to arrive at and explain the current state of things. Not only in 3-D but with the added dimension of time.
Yeah they used potassium chloride brines and oil based drilling muds im Clearwater with great results. Both inhibit the swelling of the montmorillinites if they're present in the Eagle Ford. They probably have one hell of a technical team that I'd love to hear more about. But most of what I read here is irrelevant, mindless yap about irrelevant, mindless stuff. I want to block those people.
