Abstract Casing while Drilling (CwD) is an efficient method by which to increase the fracture gradient in narrow pore-fracture pressure sedimentary basins and deep offshore applications. It offers hydraulic improvements and the ability to plaster cuttings to the wellbore wall, which can enhance the wellbore’s hoop stress by wedging the created fractures. Although successful field applications of increasing wellbore integrity have been reported, uncertainties remain regarding the mechanisms and how to operationally capture the maximum attainable wellbore p
