Predicting vertical stress was indeed useful for controlling geomechanical issues since it allowed for the computation of pore pressure for the formation and the classification of fault regimes. This study provides an in-depth observation of vertical stress prediction utilizing numerous approaches using the Techlog 2015 software. Gardner's method results in incorrect vertical stress values with a problem that this method doesn't start from the surface and instead relies only on sound log data. Whereas the Amoco, Wendt non-acoustic, Traugott, average technique simply needed density log as input and used a straight line as the observed density, this was incorrect for vertical computing stress. The results of these methods show that extrapolated density measurement used an average for the real density. The gradient of an extrapolated method is much better in shallow depth into the vertical stress calculations. The Miller density method had an excellent fit with the real density in deep depth. It has been crucial to calculate vertical stress for the past 40 years because calculating pore pressure and geomechanical building models have employed vertical stress as input. The strongest predictor of vertical stress may have been bulk density. According to these results, the miller and extrapolated techniques may be the best two methods for determining vertical stress. Still, the gradient of an extrapolated method is much more excellent in shallow depth than the miller method. Extrapolated density approach may produce satisfactory results for vertical stress, while miller values are lower than those obtained by extrapolating. This may be due to the poor gradient of this method at shallow depths. Gardner's approach incorrectly displays minimum values of about 4000 psi at great depths. While other methods provide numbers that are similar because these methods use constant bulk density values that start at the surface and continue to the desired depth, this is incorrect.

The One important rock mechanical property in geomechanical investigations is internal friction angle. In order to predict wellbore failure and construct a geomechanical earth model, friction angle is essential. It is usual to estimate the internal friction angle using core tests, but this approach requires more cores and is expensive. Instead, several empirical correlations were found to estimate the internal friction angle from logs data. The goal of this study was to determine the most accurate approach for estimating internal friction angle from log data and to demonstrate how clay volume and porosity influenced this estimate.This property is estimated using three different correlations built within Techlog 2015 software depend on neutron, density, and gamma ray logs data. The findings demonstrate that Weingarten and Perkins Weal correlation is used, especially when water production is actually occurring. The gamma ray technique does not accurately match the core data since it only employs the gamma ray log. With effective porosity and clay volume used as input data for the Plumb Clay Volume and Porosity correlation, the findings demonstrate an excellent match with the core data. The frictional angle exhibits minimal values in the Tanuma formation and at various depths as a result of a decrease in effective porosity and an increase in shale volume. The results showed that for determining frictional angle, the Plumb correlation approach was the most accurate.

The finite element approach is used to solve a variety of difficulties, including well bore stability, fluid flow production and injection wells, mechanical issues and others. Geomechanics is a term that includes a number of important aspects in the petroleum industry, such as studying the changes that can be occur in oil reservoirs and geological structures, and providing a picture of oil well stability during drilling. The current review study concerned about the advancements in the application of the finite element method (FEM) in the geomechanical field over a course of century. Firstly, the study presented the early advancements of this method by development the structural framework of stress, make numerical computer solution for 2D thermal stress then stress analysis of the airplane. The second part focused on the most recent developments of FEM, and this method generates new techniques for solving these problems, such as the 1D, 2D, and 3D finite element models; the dynamic program method (DPM); the finite discrete element method (FDEM); and the finite element extended method (FEXM). The third part of this study presented the reservoir finite element simulation used for injection well testing inside unconsolidated oil sand reservoirs. Also improvement of the FE software program for the analyses, finite element extended approach to convert a 3D fault model were introduced. In addition, the study explored the development of a 3D and 4D model utilizing Visage for FEM analysis for geomechanics investigations, and the software eclipse for pressure drop prediction in carbonate reservoir weak formation and presented the Finite-Element Smoothed Particle Method (FESPM).
