“…of applied axial stress on sand production observed by Nouri et al (2006), and indicates that increasing stress causes sand production to be significantly enhanced. According to these researchers, sand production can be initiated once tensile stresses exceed the tensile strength of the disaggregated material, or when the pressure gradient of the elements at the cavity face exceeds the UCS of the disaggregated material.…”

“…Therefore, when production starts from the reservoir, sand particles move from the reservoir into the well along with the hydrocarbon flow. This is commonly known as "sand production" in the petroleum industry (Nouri et al, 2006;Ranjith et al, 2013). From the geotechnical point of view, the mechanical stability of bore-wells is of critical importance for the petroleum drilling and recovery process.…”

Abstract. Deeper drilling and exploitation of difficult reservoir is the new trend in oil and gas industry. Geomechanics study has, therefore, become a new requirement particularly for oil and gas field development. However, a complete geomechanics study is limited with the number of experts, time consuming and not a straightforward task. Therefore, there is an urgent need of a quick geomechanics screening criterion to be used as a standard guideline to evaluate the high level geomechanical risks and suitable analysis can be recommended for the identified development fields. The aim of this paper is to propose a screening criterion for geomechanical risks study based on four key parameters, drilling, depletion, injection and storage and sand production. The screening approach is designed based on Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM) risk screening where the likelihood is based on a set of scores developed to specific questions. The consequence for each failure scenarios is assessed based on educated estimation of the impact towards people, asset, environment and reputation. Recommendations for geomechanical study are made based on the severity of each failure category on the RAM risk matrix. Fourteen development fields in offshore Peninsular Malaysia, offshore Sarawak and offshore Sabah are selected for the assessment. Based on results, fields in offshore Sarawak and Sabah have higher potential for geomechacnical issues mainly because of their geological settings and formation characteristics. A set of geomechanical study is proposed for each individual field for prudent management of potential geomechanics risk associated with the depletion and EOR injection scheme planned for the fields.

“…Even the new developed indirect USC estimation methods such as block punch index test (Sulukcu and Ulusay;, core strangle test (Yilmaz; 2009), nail penetration test (Kayabali and Selcuk;2009) Due to lack of appropriate rock samples, real-time monitoring of the drilled rocks strength parameters is one of the most important geotechnical problems under the restricted sampling condition. The real time monitoring of mechanical properties of drilled formations during the long term deep oil and gas well excavation projects can be vital for estimation of well wall stability (Zausa et al;1997;Jaramillo;2004), formation sand production (Nouri et al;2005), drill bit selection (Uboldi et al;1999) and drillability of formations (Yarali and Soyer;. (Ringstad et al;1998).…”
