Numerical Modeling of Wellbore Instability (TENSILE Failure) Using Fracture Mechanics Approach
Ericmoore, Elijah Jossou (2013-05-12)When a well is drilled, the equilibrium in-situ stress is changed. In order to support the stress relief induced by the drilling and to prevent hydrocarbon influx into the cavity, the borehole is filled with a fluid. These ...
