Numerical simulation on borehole breakout and borehole size effect using discrete element method

Volume: 30, Issue: 5, Pages: 623 - 633

Abstract
Estimation of horizontal stress magnitudes from borehole breakouts has been an attractive topic in the petroleum and mining industries, although there are critical research gaps that remain unfilled. In this paper, numerical simulation is conducted on Gosford sandstone to investigate the borehole breakout and its associated borehole size effect, including temperature influence. The discrete element method (DEM) model shows that the borehole...
