Stability Analysis of Near-Wellbore Reservoirs Considering the Damage of Hydrate-Bearing Sediments
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 The stability of hydrate-bearing near-wellbore reservoirs is one of the key issues in gas hydrate exploitation. In most previous investigations, the damage evolution process of the sediment structure and its effect on near-wellbore reservoir stability ...

Analysis of Wellbore Stability considering the Interaction between Fluid and Shale
Geofluids, 2023 Reservoir shale has the characteristics of bedding planes, strong anisotropy, and strong imbibition ability under ultralow water saturation, which has an important impact on wellbore stability of horizontal wells.

3D finite element modelling of multilateral junction wellbore stability
Petroleum Science, 2018 Wellbore failure can occur at different stages of operations. For example, wellbore collapse might happen during drilling and/or during production. The drilling process results in the removal of an already stressed rock material.

Simulation of Wellbore Stability during Underbalanced Drilling Operation [PDF]
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2017 The wellbore stability analysis during underbalance drilling operation leads to avoiding risky problems. These problems include (1) rock failure due to stresses changes (concentration) as a result of losing the original support of removed rocks and (2 ...

Wellbore stability in geomechanics [PDF]
, 2007 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.

Thermoporoelastic wellbore stability model with local thermal non-equilibrium [PDF]
, 2021 Wellbore stability is a key challenge for the exploration and production industry since it adds a great deal of additional cost. Traditional wellbore stability models such as elastic and poroelastic models are not sufficient in modeling the stability and
