Abstract: A method for performing a borehole operation is disclosed. The method includes determining a characteristic diffusion time that corresponds to an undrained response period or a non-monotonic pore pressure dissipation phase of a porous medium surrounding a borehole, determining, based on a pre-determined failure criterion, a critical time of the borehole that corresponds to when a failure of the porous medium occurs within the characteristic diffusion time, identifying a failure region of the failure occurring at the critical time of the borehole, and performing, based on at least the identified failure region, the borehole operation.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a maximum horizontal stress at a depth of a geological formation, includes: setting an estimate SHmax of the maximum horizontal stress; conducting an elastoplastic modeling simulation of the geological formation around a wellbore with the estimate SHmax and obtaining a simulated value ϕb,1 of a breakout angle, wherein the breakout angle is a half-width of a breakout region; and upon determining that the estimate ϕb,1 is greater than or equal to a prescribed value and is different from a measured breakout angle ϕb,m at the depth by more than a threshold value, repeatedly changing the estimate SHmax and conducting the elastoplastic modeling simulation.

Abstract: Described is a method for managing an expectation on sanding volume in weak sandstone. In situ data related to a region of sandstone proximate a well is acquired. Measured property data corresponding to samples from the region of sandstone are obtained, and a chemical consolidation treatment is performed on the samples. Chemical consolidation treatment data is then obtained. The measured property data and the chemical consolidation treatment data is supplied as inputs to a simulator. The simulator performs simulations with and without chemical consolidation treatment. Based on the simulations, a correlation between a well flow rate and an effect of the chemical consolidation treatment is determined.

Abstract: A method of constructing a mechanical earth model (MEM) includes integrating a density logging data set to compute vertical stress and applying correlation models or equations to estimate a pore pressure and mechanical properties. The method also includes calibrating the pore pressure with drill stem test data, calibrating the mechanical properties with laboratory tests on core plugs or on rock cuttings, estimating a minimum horizontal stress using correlation models, and calibrating the minimum horizontal stress with minifrac tests. The method further includes estimating a maximum horizontal stress using the correlation models while assuming one or more correlation parameters, calibrating the maximum horizontal stress with a global pattern of tectonic strains and a basin stress regime, evaluating one or more breakout regions using the MEM, a trajectory of a well, and a geometry of a pilot hole, and comparing the one or more breakout regions and a caliper logging data set.

Abstract: A method for developing a procedure for pretreating a section of a wellbore prior to hydraulic fracturing stimulation of the section of the wellbore includes determining an optimized notch geometry and determining an optimized chemical treatment for the section of the wellbore. The optimized notch geometry is determined by modeling a notch in the section of the wellbore using a computing system, simulating a pressure increase in the section of the wellbore and on the notch from a hydraulic fracturing stimulation, identifying breakdown pressure in the section of the wellbore, and repeating the modeling, simulating, and identifying to determine the optimized notch geometry in the wellbore as the notch having a lowest breakdown pressure. The optimized chemical treatment is determined by determining a rock type in the section of the wellbore and determining a conditioning fluid that reduces the tensile strength of the rock type.
