Anisotropic poromechanics of the wellbore coupled with thermal and chemical gradients.
(2002)A generalized anisotropic porothermoelastic formulation incorporating fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical response of saturated porous media is developed. Governing equations are tailored for transversely isotropic media ... -
Development of a three-segment hydraulic model for cuttings transport in horizontal and deviated wells.
(2001)This study describes the model development for each segment, the combination of each model, the solution, and the simulation results of the combined three-segment model. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the effects ... -
A new conceptual approach to shale stability.
(1997)Based on this broad investigation, the most probable instability mechanism is the creation of cracks with subsequent penetration of the drilling fluid into the fractures. An innovative conceptual model to analyze wellbore ...
