DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN INDENTATION PARAMETERS AND UNCONFINED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH (UCS) VALUES IN SHALE SAMPLES DESARROLO DE CORRELACIONES EXPERIMENTALES ENTRE PÁRAMETROS DE IDENTACIÓN Y LA RESISTENCIA COMPRENSIVA UNIAXIAL (UCS) PARA MUESTRAS DE SHALE

Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) is one of the rock mechanical properties that is important take into account during drilling operations in order to avoid wellbore instability. During drilling operations, UCS variability influences wellbore stability more than other factors such as azimuth, slo...
