An analytical solution to wellbore stability using Mogi-Coulomb failure criterion

Deep wellbores/boreholes are generally drilled into rocks for oil and gas exploration, monitoring of tectonic stresses purposes. Wellbore and tunnel in depth are generally in true triaxial stress state, even if the ground is under axisymmetric loading condition. Stability of such wellbores is very c...
