Failure Criteria and its Application in Wellbore Studies
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: This paper has reviewed the failure criteria that had been applied in the wellbore studies. Rock failure studies had applied in the wellbore and reservoir to establish the stability, which is a major problem in oil and gas wells. There problems are both in injection wells and production wells. In injection wells, fracturing is a problem and in production wells, sand production affects the oil flow rate. The stress state of the well determines the stability of the well using the failure criteria.Different failure criteria and their applications had been studied. The theory of the failure has expressed; then applied criteria, formulation and modification of different criteria is expressed for different wellbore studies. And finally the important aspects and differences in wellbore failure rather than the rock surface failure has been discussed.
