Abstract: Static Poisson's ratio (νstatic) is a key factor in determine the in-situ stresses in the reservoir section. νstatic is used to calculate the minimum horizontal stress which will affect the design of the optimum mud widow ...

Abstract: The evaluation of the quality of unconventional hydrocarbon resources becomes a critical stage toward characterizing these resources, and this evaluation requires the evaluation of the total organic carbon (TOC). Generally, ...

Abstract: Drilling deep wells became common in the oil and gas sector as a result of the high demand for energy in the world. This type of wells is not trivial to drill as a result several challenges that they encounter, such as ...

Abstract: Previous studies considered the waterbased drilling fluid filter cake as homogenous, containing one layer with an average porosity and permeability. The filter cake was recently proved to be heterogeneous, containing two ...

Abstract: Well stimulation using acidic solutions is widely used to treat carbonate formations. The acidic fluids remove the nearwellbore damage and create channels around the wellbore by dissolving fraction of the carbonate rocks. ...

Abstract: Several correlations are available to determine the fracture pressure, a vital property of a well, which is essential in the design of the drilling operations and preventing problems. Some of these correlations are based ...

Abstract: Predicting the rate of penetration (ROP) is challenging especially during horizontal drilling. This is because there are many factors affecting ROP. Machine learning techniques are very promising in identifying the structural ...

Abstract: The rock unconfined compressive strength (UCS) is one of the key parameters for geomechanical and reservoir modeling in the petroleum industry. Obtaining the UCS by conventional methods such as experimental work or empirical ...

Abstract: Drillstring vibration is a major concern during drilling wellbore, and it can be split into three types: axial, torsional, and lateral. Many problems associate with the high drillstring vibrations as tear and wear in ...

Abstract: The rock acoustic data that provide important information about the formation petrophysics and geomechanics are highly needed to design the wells drilling programs, in addition to, reservoir stimulation and field development ...
