There have been interests to link different cuttings/cavings to various wellbore failure types
during drilling. This concept is essential when caliper and image logs are not available …

Wellbore failure is the most headache and common problem in drilling engineering. Wireline
loggings like caliper log and image log are usually used to identify wellbore failure …

Drill cuttings are considered representative of the lithology being drilled in a wellbore.
However, the fragments that are two to three times larger and/or having odd shapes …

Leaky wells are expensive to plug, provide a potential pathway for subsurface fluid
migration, and are difficult to study in the field. Because of the inherent cost and risk …

Compressive wellbore failure is a major contributor to sanding problems and casing
collapse in many oil and gas fields. This type of failure occurs when the wellbore pressure …

In multi-fractured horizontal wells, the wellbore is segmented into stages that are stimulated
separately. This segmentation is traditionally geometrically based on a specific stage length …

Structural geological texts, research papers and books, are progressively incorporating well
logging-related studies and geomechanical issues, including borehole imaging techniques …

Completion and production stimulation engineers use isotropic or transversely isotropicwith
a vertical axis of symmetry (TIV) mechanical earth models (MEM) as an input to predict …

Drill cuttings have always been used to gather data from subsurface formations. Since the
onset of the drilling industry, mud loggers have used cuttings to plot the lithology column …

In contrast to leak-off testing in deep wells, leak-of plots from the shallow well sections
subsea, exemplified in the paper, are inconclusive because there is no obvious point of …
