Sensitivity Analysis of Wellbore Mud Pressure towards Anisotropic Shale Properties, Pore Fluid Pressure and Far Field Stresses

The paper investigates the mud pressure to maintain the stability of wellbores drilled in transversely isotropic shale through sensitivity analyses, carried out with analytical and numerical modeling (FLAC). To this end, we interpreted the anisotropic strength of the Tournemire shale with the Weakne...
