... empirically found to result in sand production were identified. The sand production model was run to verify the role played by different factors. It is shown that completion design, rock strength and post failure behavior of the rock are key factors responsible for the observed sanding in these wells...

The innovated model estimates values of drillstring accelerations that collapse wellbore, and predicts optimum mud weight needed for safe drilling before and after reduction in rock strength due to drillstring vibration. Research findings reduce...

It takes into account the rock strength and the pore pressure whilst describing the behavior of rock under mechanical disturbance. Typically, a Geomechanical model comprises of six components...

... communication. A key perforating parameter is the perforation tunnel depth of penetration (DoP). A new paradigm of DoP modeling relies on shaped charge characterization in the laboratory under a range of rock strength and stress; however, most available data are for rock strength or unconfined compressive...
