Numerical Simulation Analysis of Wellbore Stability in Weak Interlayer of Igneous Rock

Numerical Simulation Analysis of Wellbore Stability in Weak Interlayer of Igneous Rock

Wellbores drilled in igneous formation with weak interlayers face significant risk of instabilities. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms of these instabilities by employing a combination of rock mechanics tests and numerical simulation techniques. The mechanical properties of ig...
