摘要

In recent years drilling for hydrocarbons have become a muchrnmore challenging task as nice, blanket-type reservoirs are nowrnpart of history and appear mostly in textbooks and old reports.rnThe current economic and political world environmentrndemands fewer, more “difficult” wells to be drilled andrnproduced. Wellbore stability problems account for huge overcostsrnworldwide.rnTectonically active areas, thin interlayered horizons,rnunconsolidated rocks; deep and hot formations are part of therngeological environments where hydrocarbons are currentlyrnproduced from. The degree of planning and problemrnanticipation at both drilling and production stages willrndetermine the difference between a productive reservoir and arntechnical/economical failure.rnIn the literature, some specific cases have been analyzedrnbut the lack of a more general methodology for wellborerndesign is a problem that needs to be addressed. The vastrnmajority of models utilize two-dimensional (2D) descriptionsrnof the problem in order to determine the best well trajectoryrnfrom a geomechanical point of view. In this paper, severalrnsituations are presented, where different stress field patternsrnwere assumed for different rock types. The generality of thisrnstudy provides a tool for well design under different stressrnenvironments. The maximum principal stress was allowed tornfollow different directions in different planes (horizontal,rnvertical and inclined) depending upon the case being analyzed.rnThe model represents wellbores drilled in shallow,rnmedium-deep, and deep basins. The effect of both differentialrnstress and loads magnitude were evaluated throughout thisrnwork.rnThe model developed here was based on the finite elementrnmethod, for both linear-elastic and elasto-plastic materials.rnThe description of the problem is a fully three-dimensionalrn(3D) representation of the wellbore and the applied stresses.rnThis paper has two parts: a theoretical approach, whichrnprovides the basis for the solution setup, and a set ofrnnumerical experiments with their correspondent results. Sincernseveral real-life situations were evaluated, the potentialrnapplicability of the results obtained here is apparent; and thernresults of these simulations could be used as a cross check forrncalculations made for more particular situations in the field.rnThe aim of this work is to provide a more global vision of therneffects of stress variations upon the optimum design of oil andrngas wells.
