Application Of Geomechanics In Improving Borehole Stability During Drilling

The borehole instability problem is undesirable problem whether before start drilling, during drilling or after drilling. The main problem related to borehole instability is stuck pipe problem. This stuck pipe problem is undesirable during drilling which can cause in non productive time (NPT). The stuck pipe problem could lead in sidetracking, equipment left in hole and also sometime hole collapse. The stuck pipe problem normally occurred in horizontal well or high angle well. The geomechanics study been already enters in petroleum industry to help in encounter the borehole stability problem. To encounter the stuck pipe problem, the borehole stability is needed which means geomechanics could help mitigate the stuck pipe problem.
