    Abstract: A system and method for determining a mud-weight window is disclosed. The method includes determining, for each of a plurality of borehole-formation training models, a fracture mud weight using a first physics-based method and a collapse mud weight using a second physics-based method, and training, using the plurality of borehole-formation training models, an artificial intelligence (AI) network to predict the fracture and collapse mud weights for a borehole formation model. The method further includes determining, using the trained AI network, an AI fracture and an AI collapse mud weight from an observed borehole-formation model, and a search window surrounding each AI mud weight. The method further includes predicting a final fracture mud weight within the fracture search window using the first physics-based method and a final collapse mud weight within the collapse search window using the second physics-based method, and determining the mud-weight window bounded by the two final mud weights.
