Numerical Modeling of Wellbore Instability (TENSILE Failure) Using Fracture Mechanics Approach
(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 ...
Fracture Mechanics Approach for the Maintenance of Offshore Oil and Gas Pipeline
(2014-12-15)
Failure of offshore oil and gas pipelines occurs under certain conditions due to some applied mechanical forces. These conditions constitute a potential
threat to the integrity of in-service life span of the pipelines ...
