What is SPE 120219 Prediction of Wellbore Stability Using 3D Finite Element Model in A Shallow Unconsolidated Heavy-Oil Sand in A Kuwait Field about?

This paper presents a geomechanical study aimed at predicting wellbore stability for horizontal drilling in a shallow unconsolidated heavy-oil sand reservoir in Kuwait. A 3D Finite Element model was developed to evaluate the stability of the wellbore and recommend optimal mud weights and drilling orientations based on the analysis of data from six vertical offset wells. The findings indicate that higher mud weights enhance wellbore stability and that horizontal wells should be oriented sub-parallel to the m
