What is Optimum Mud Weight for Niger Delta Wells about?

This document analyzes wellbore instability issues in two wells drilled in an oil field in the Niger Delta. It evaluates the optimum mud weight window needed to prevent wellbore instability using geomechanical models and failure criteria. The Mogi-Coulomb and Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria were used to predict breakout profiles and estimate the optimum mud weight. The results found the Mogi failure criterion was a better predictor, estimating mud weights of 1.46sg and 1.39sg for the two wells, compared to 1.
