Numerical analysis to estimate near-wellbore drilling induced failures area for fractured formation using Universal Discrete Element Codes (UDEC)

There have been reported cases of wellbore instability near-wellbore area due to failures associated with drilling operations, the magnitude and extension of the failure area is imprecisely evaluated by copious researchers due to some of the limitations posed by the numerical simulations used. There...
