Numerical modeling of the stability of horizontal multidrain oil wells

Abstract: The stability of the horizontal multidrain wells is a crucial issue and several factors are involved in this matter, including in-situ stresses, magnitude and distribution as well as the mainbore trajectories. In this paper, this issue is evaluated by assuming different circumstances for the above mentioned factors, based on finite difference threedimensional modeling by using the finite difference numerical software, FLAC3D. The stability of the mainbore and lateral branches is analyzed based on the Normalize… Show more

“…In contrast, it means that the medium can absorb more stresses and accept more deformation. Elyasi and Goshtasbi (2015) used the numerical finite difference codes to study the wellbore stability of a horizontal multidrain oil well. They used the Normalized Yielded Zone Area analysis around the wellbore and its branches to optimize mud pressure and plastic deformation inside the wellbore under different earth stress regimes.…”
