A fracture sliding potential index for wellbore stability analysis
Sliding failure along the fractures intersecting a wellbore is one of the major wellbore instability mechanisms. This kind of failure is similar to the slope instabilities, a well-known phenomenon in mining and civil engineering. During drilling operations the drilling fluid can penetrate through fr...
