Influence of drill-string lateral collision on wellbore stability of a horizontal well

A finite element model of wellbore stability was proposed for a horizontal well, and drill-string friction and lateral collision in the process of rotary motion were taken into account. An unconfined compression test was used for model validation, the normalized yielded zone area (NYZA) was employed...
