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 ...

Construction of Mechanical Earth Modeling for Mitigating Wellbore Instability in Tanuma Shaly Formation -Southern Iraqi Oil Field

open access: yesIraqi Geological Journal
Wellbore instability has become an increasing concern for horizontal and extended-reach wells, especially through shale cap rocks. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the factors that led to the wellbore being unstable in the Tanuma ...

Numerical modelling of wellbore behaviour in fractured rock masses

open access: yes, 1999
Wellbore instability problems have been encountered in many gas and oil fields. Fractures and a high differential stress (i.e., a large difference between the principal effective stresses in the horizontal plane) are considered to be major causes of ...

Research on Wellbore Stability in Deepwater Hydrate-Bearing Formations during Drilling

open access: yesEnergies
Marine gas hydrate formations are characterized by considerable water depth, shallow subsea burial, loose strata, and low formation temperatures. Drilling in such formations is highly susceptible to hydrate dissociation, leading to gas invasion, wellbore

Numerical Modeling of Wellbore Instability (SHEAR Failure) using Fracture Mechanics Approach

open access: yes, 2013
Wellbore instabilities are responsible for 10-20% of the total drilling cost. It has been estimated that wellbore instability causes an annual economic loss of US$ 500 - 1000 million in the oil industry across the world.
