A method of increasing the fracture resistance of a low permeability formation that includes emplacing a wellbore fluid in a wellbore through the low permeability formation, the wellbore fluid comprising: a settable carrier fluid; and a solid particulate bridging material; increasing the pressure in the wellbore such that fractures are formed in the formation; allowing the settable carrier fluid to enter the fractures; bridging and scaling the mouths of the fractures to form a substantially impermeable bridge proximate the mouth of the fractures thereby strengthening the formation; and holding the increased pressure for an amount of time sufficient for setting of the carrier fluid in the fractures is disclosed.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'augmentation de la résistance à la rupture d'une formation à faible perméabilité qui comprend l'emplacement d'un fluide de puits de forage dans un puits de forage à travers la formation à faible perméabilité, le fluide de puits de forage comprenant : un fluide de support fixable ; et un matériau de pont particulaire solide ; l'augmentation de la pression dans le puits de forage de sorte que des ruptures sont formées dans la formation ; le fait de laisser le fluide de support fixable entrer dans les ruptures ; le pontage et la fermeture des orifices des ruptures pour former un pont sensiblement imperméable à proximité de l'orifice des ruptures renforçant ainsi la formation ; et le maintien de la pression accrue pendant un certain temps suffisant pour fixer le fluide de support dans les ruptures.
