FORMATION STABILITY MODELING

A method can include receiving data that characterizes anisotropy of a formation; receiving a model that models one or more planes of weakness in an anisotropic formation; and, based at least in part on the model and the data, outputting information germane to stability of a bore in an anisotropic f...

More Information
Summary:A method can include receiving data that characterizes anisotropy of a formation; receiving a model that models one or more planes of weakness in an anisotropic formation; and, based at least in part on the model and the data, outputting information germane to stability of a bore in an anisotropic formation. Procédé pouvant consister à recevoir des données qui caractérisent l'anisotropie d'une formation; recevoir un modèle qui modélise un ou plusieurs plans de faiblesse dans une formation anisotrope; et, sur la base au moins en partie du modèle et des données, sortir des informations en rapport avec la stabilité d'un trou de forage dans une formation anisotrope.
