Stability analysis and uncertainty modeling of vertical and inclined wellbore drilling through heterogeneous field

A stochastic two-dimensional geomechanical model developed by the authors and presented herein is used to analyze wellbore stability in heterogeneous formations. It consists of a finite element model and assumes linear elastic and isotropic material behavior under the plane strain state. The model s...
