ROCK STRENGTH AND IN-SITU STRESSES FROM DRILLING RESPONSE

摘要

Estimating in-situ stress of an interval having drilling response data is described. Estimating involves obtaining drilling response data of a data rich interval with available data. Estimating relative rock strength as a composite value that includes in-situ stress and rock strength. Estimating a Poisson's ratio from the relative rock strength. Generating a stress model that includes uniaxial strain model using the Poisson's ratio. Verifying the stress model with the available data. Applying the stress models in a non-data rich interval.
