... the layer of concentrated solids from the drilling mud that forms on the walls of the borehole opposite permeable formations, which is usually called wall cake or mud cake. 4, record 1, English, - filter%20cake
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
When permeable formations such as limestones and sandstones are penetrated during drilling, the difference in pressure that exists between the hydrostatic head of the column of drilling fluid and these formations causes a filter-cake to be deposited on the face of the exposed formation. 2, record 1, English, - filter%20cake

Dans les terrains qui gonflent ou qui s’éboulent quand on les perfore, on peut substituer à la protection du trou par tubage, celle de la protection, à partir de boues spéciales, d’un «cake» tapissant les parois inférieures du trou. [...] Si l'on essore une telle boue, l'eau libre est expulsée et il reste un résidu plastique et étanche appelé «cake» ou encore «gâteau». La création d’un cake sur les parois d’un forage s’obtient par absorption, par le terrain perforé, de l'eau libre de la boue que l'on a introduite dans le trou. 8, record 1, French, - g%C3%A2teau%20de%20filtration

[...] la boue [de forage] doit toujours être capable de déposer sur les parois du trou, une «croûte» étanche appelée «cake» ou gâteau jouant le rôle de tubage. 9, record 1, French, - g%C3%A2teau%20de%20filtration
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 CONT
La formation, sur les parois du forage, d’un cake est maintenant la seule justification de l’emploi d’une boue en tant que fluide de circulation. [...] la création du cake est provoquée par l’absorption par le terrain de l’eau libre de la boue. Il faut que ce cake soit à la fois mince et résistant pour permettre le passage de l’outil tout en assurant la stabilité des parois. 9, record 1, French, - g%C3%A2teau%20de%20filtration

The cohesion of the sludge, and hence its filtrability, can be improved by adding dry matter which is generally inert. This has the effect of increasing the dry-matter content of the dewatered cake and making it easier to transport, but it does not add substantially to the output of the dewatering system proper. 1, record 2, English, - dewatered%20cake

L'apport de matières sèches, généralement inertes, peut améliorer la cohésion de la boue et par là même sa filtrabilité. Il a pour effet d’augmenter la teneur en matières sèches du gâteau essoré et d’en faciliter le transport, mais sans gain substantiel sur la production du système de déshydratation proprement dit. 1, record 2, French, - g%C3%A2teau%20essor%C3%A9

L'apport de matières sèches [...] peut améliorer la cohésion de la boue [...]. Il a pour effet d’augmenter la teneur en matières sèches du gâteau essoré [...].
