Abstract

A method for encouraging breakout formation during the formation of hydrocarbon producing wellbores. Breakouts are encouraged during drilling operations to increase the stability of the formation rock immediately adjacent to the wellbore. The weight of drilling mud is selected to provide breakout control, and the path of the wellbore can be selected in directions to help breakout control. Efficient drilling operations are facilitated, and the resulting wellbore provides enhanced stability as hydrocarbon fluids arc produced from a subsurface reservoir into the wellbore interior.
