This analysis showed the impact of these parameters on the wellbore temperature profile including the critical areas such as the casing setting point and bottom hole assembly. This information may lead to enhancing the wellbore stability by monitoring the thermal stresses, especially...

... Abstract Wellbore stability modeling has been known in the oil and gas industry and academia for a long time. The instability-related issues significantly impact field developments, especially in complex deep reservoirs. This instability can substantially jeopardize the drilling objectives...

... Abstract Subsurface anomalies can present complex well construction challenges. These anomalies to name a few are irregular wellbore stress profiles, low fracture gradients that require complex mud programs and, in some cases, total fluid losses while drilling. Poor wellbore stability...

.... The drilling safety is affected and may lead to the failure of drilling to the target reservoir. The drilling fluid density is the key factor to maintain the salt bed’s wellbore stability. The in-situ stress of the composite salt bed (gypsum-salt -gypsum-salt-gypsum) is usually uneven distributed. Creep...

... and improve the well delivery efficiency, it was critical to mitigate these problems through comprehensive geomechanical analyses to enhance wellbore stability and optimize drilling programs. The same geomechanical model can also be used to provide the necessary inputs and supports for hydraulic fracturing...
