Relationship between rock macro- and micro-properties and wellbore breakout type

This study numerically investigates the effect of material micro- and macro-parameters on the failure mechanisms and geometry of a wellbore breakout. The analysis of the borehole breakout is essential in addressing wellbore stability, well completion, and sand production problems. The three-dimensio...
