Abstract

In the rock salt deposit "Tetima" by analysis of situation and pore (layers) pressures and fracturing pressures development it has been proved that the values of pore and fracturing pressures are quite low (in the part of deposit which is currently exploited) and on the border of use salt water such as fluid for canal rinse in some drilling intervals. That especially relates to the'' weak'' breccia layer, stationed just above rock salt series, which is rated as most likely zone of drilling fluid loss and hermeticity loss of all constructed boreholes in that part of deposit. Calculated values of pore pressures, fracturing pressures and their gradients indicate on need for correction of existing boreholes construction on the rock salt deposit ''Tetima''. Analysis results of six constructed boreholes are presented in this paper, by analytical and graphical method.
