MECHANICAL BOREHOLE STABILITY ANALYSIS USING
2016-8-28 · Borehole instability is an operational problem and typically accounts for 10% of the drilling costs. The change in the stress state caused by drillout can lead to mechanical borehole instability if the wellbore pressure is below the minimum required borehole pressure (shear failure) or above the fracture pressure (tensile failure). A FEM tool, Phase2, is used in the current work for mechanical borehole …
