A series of thick-wall cylinder tests were performed on Bentheim sandstone to investigate
the nucleation and propagation of borehole breakouts. Isotropic compression tests showed …

Estimation of horizontal stress magnitudes from borehole breakouts has been an attractive
topic in the petroleum and mining industries, although there are critical research gaps that …

Borehole breakout initiation stress is critical for mining and geotechnical engineering as it
indicates horizontal stress magnitudes and rock quality in a specific layer. This stress can be …

The hollow-cylinder (HC) test is an important means of assessing openhole stability during
drilling, completion and production. This paper reviews experimental and theoretical work …

Wellbore failure is best simulated in the laboratory by subjecting a model hole to simulated
in-situ stresses. A jacketed, thick-walled, hollow cylinder is subjected to increasing pressure …

Borehole breakouts, as well as breakouts in tunnels and shafts, are a common occurrence,
especially under high in situ stresses or stress states with high deviatoric component …

Two types of tests conducted routinely on hollow cylinders are splitting tests and collapse
tests. In the former case, a hollow cylindrical sample is pressurised internally until a fracture …

Borehole integrity is a critical concern in drilling operations, as failure induced by stress
redistribution poses a significant threat to both the borehole's stability and economic viability …

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: A series of thick-walled cylinder (TWC) and unconfined
compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted on downhole and surface sandstones …

Geomechanics of Sand Production and Control delivers a convenient resource for both
academia and professionals to gain understanding and results surrounding sand …
