Stability analyses for deviated wellbores in unconsolidated cross-anisotropic formations
Production of oil from shallow reservoirs typically involves drilling highly deviated wells through unconsolidated (or poorly lithified) rocks or clays. This paper describes numerical analyses of the deformations and stability of deviated wellbores within a K0-consolidated clay. The analyses conside...
