Wellbore instability problems cause nonproductive time, especially during drilling operations
in the shale formations. These problems include stuck pipe, caving, lost circulation, and the …

Estimation of rock mechanic parameters is an important issue in reservoir management.
Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and elastic modulus are the most important factors in …

Steam Assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is demonstrated as a proven technology to unlock
heavy oil and bitumen in Canadian reservoirs. One of the long-term concerns with the SAGD …

In this study, we developed a relationship for Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) based
on total formation porosity, bulk density and water saturation using Genetic Programming …

Geomechanical failure parameters are best estimated from core samples, which are not
always available. To address this, numerous relationships have been proposed that relate …

Abstract The Chicontepec Formation is a complex and heterogeneous calcitric-lithic
sandstone reservoir with significant historical problems of borehole collapse. To predict and …

A reasonable knowledge of rock's physical and mechanical properties could save the cost of
drilling and production of a reservoir to a large extent by selection of proper operating …

Borehole instability problems have caused non-productive time while drilling operations in
the Nahr Umr shale formation. The drilling difficulties, including stuck pipe, caving, and tight …

As time goes by, increase in world energy demand forced oil and gas companies to drill
deeper in order to produce more oil and gas for quenching the thirst of human needs. This …

The need to validate and integrate assorted petrophysical logs with core measurements is
key in defining formation properties, rock composition, diagenetic effects, clay typing, rock …
