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 3, French, - g%C3%A2teau%20de%20filtration

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.

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 3, French, - g%C3%A2teau%20de%20filtration
