Bonjour,

je traduis un document de formation pour le forage.
Contexte : "Depending on which section of the hole is being drilled, mud performs various functions that facilitate the successful drilling of a well:
Control formation pressure
Prevent caving of the formation
**Cake off** permeable formations
Clean cuttings from the hole"

Merci beaucoup de votre aide.


Bien à vous,
Ilinca F.
