- Geomechanical wellbore stability modeling of exploratory wells - study case at middle Magdalena Basin Jenny-Mabel Carvajal Jiménez Luz-Carime Valera Lara Alexander Rueda Néstor-Fernando Saavedra Trujillo Ingeniería Cagüi 1 modeling drilling stability rock mechanics This paper presents the geomechanical wellbore stability model of an exploratory well sited at MiddleMagdalena Basin (MMB), which is based on the validity of linear elastic deformational theory for porousmedia; the use of correlations and field tools such as well and image logs to indirect determinationof mechanical properties and stress state. Additionally, it is shown the model calibration and validation usingdrilling events which occurred at other previously drilled wells in the study area, at the exploratory well itselfand experimentally evaluated mechanical properties on outcrop and core samples from the basin formations.This application allowed the Instituto Colombiano del Petróleo (ICP) at Ecopetrol S.A. to formally performthe geomechanical modeling of Colombian formations and to accomplish a complete and appropriatemethodology to do so; such methodology has been standardized as part of the drilling support process atEcopetrol S.A., supplying the possibility for taking decisions that contribute to reduce drilling costs and risksduring operations. 2007 artículo científico 0122-5383 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46530305 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=465 CT&F Ciencia, Tecnología y Futuro application/pdf ECOPETROL S.A.
