A prediction of borehole stability while drilling preliminary prospecting wells based on seismic impedance

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2015
When the conventional method of predicting borehole stability is applied to the preliminary prospecting wells, the precision of prediction is often affected severely by the lack of data, limit of applying conditions, error of calculated parameters and ...

Borehole stability in densely welded tuffs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The stability of boreholes, or more generally of underground openings (i.e. including shafts, ramps, drifts, tunnels, etc.) at locations where seals or plugs are to be placed is an important consideration in seal design for a repository (Juhlin and Sandstedt, 1989).

Should the structure have been underpinned? - reflection after a quarter of a century [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A case study of a domestic structure that suffered damage as a result of foundation movement in the 1970s is examined. Conclusions and recommendations made at the time are re-visited in the light of limitations of the original site investigation and ...

ABOUT USING THE GEOPHYSICAL STUDY METHODS TO PREVENT DRILLING PROBLEMS

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Нефть и газ, 2016
The methods of geophysical survey used for prevention of complications in terms of stability of well borehole when drilling are considered. It is shown that application of the borehole survey complex, including section gage logging, borehole acoustic TV (

Borehole stability in naturally fractured rocks with drilling mud intrusion and associated fracture strength weakening: A coupled DFN-DEM approach

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Borehole instability in naturally fractured rocks poses significant challenges to drilling. Drilling mud invades the surrounding formations through natural fractures under the difference between the wellbore pressure (Pw) and pore pressure (Pp) during ...

Porothermoelastic Response of a Borehole in Fluid-Saturated Medium Subjected to Thermal Osmosis Effect

open access: yesGeofluids, 2023
With the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling process considered, this paper derives a set of analytical porothermoelastic solutions to field variables including the stress, displacement, and pore pressure fields to evaluate the wellbore stability around a ...

Characterization of Shale-Drilling Fluid Interaction Mechanisms Related to Wellbore Instability

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 1996
Wellbore stability problems tend to occur during the drilling phase in shale sections, hence the understanding of shale-drilling fluid interaction mechanisms is essential if wellbore instability is to be avoided when drilling through shale sections.

Frictional Stabilities on Induced Earthquake Fault Planes at Fox Creek, Alberta: A Pore Fluid Pressure Dilemma

open access: yes, 2019
Earthquakes induced during hydraulic fracturing operations have occurred in a number of locales. However, in-situ studies aimed to discern the triggering mechanism remains exclusively statistical in their nature.
