Geomechanical Modeling of In-Situ Stresses Around a Borehole
In this paper, we present a modelling of the in-situ stress state associated with the severe hole enlargement of a wellbore. Geomechanical information is relevant to assure wellbore stability, i.e., to prevent damages in the formation and later on, the casing. Many of the drilling parameters, as...
