Geomechanical Modeling of In-Situ Stresses Around a Borehole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In this paper, we present a modelling of the in-situ stress state associated with the severe hole enlargement of a wellbore. Geomechanical information is relevant to assure wellbore stability, i.e., to prevent damages in the formation and later on ...

Numerical Simulation on the Influence of the Distribution Characteristics of Cracks and Solution Cavities on the Wellbore Stability in Carbonate Formation

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The development of cracks and solution cavities in carbonate reservoirs can notably reduce the rock’s mechanical properties, leading to a severe wellbore collapse problem during drilling operations.

Interaction mechanism and development suggestions for the full cycle construction effect of surface horizontal wells in unmined coal mines

open access: yesMeitan kexue jishu
To explore the differences in fracturing effects of different levels of ground level wells in unmined coal mines, and to reveal the interaction mechanism of construction effects in various stages of gas control throughout the entire cycle, combined with ...

Estimation of caving volumetric-flow using the ultrasonic Doppler Method

open access: yesCT&F Ciencia, Tecnología & Futuro
Estimating the volumetric flow of cuttings and cavings that are extracted and transported by the drilling mud into the flow line while drilling a well is of major interest to for drillers so that they can understand the drilling conditions and maintain ...

Wellbore stability in geomechanics [PDF]

open access: yes
Borehole instabilities can be encountered at any stage in the life of a well and they are the main cause of drilling difficulties, resulting in substantial expenditures, expensive loss of time, sometimes even in the loss of part of or even whole boreholes.
