摘要

Mud window is an inseparable part of well design. It is so crucial for having a successful drilling operation, especially in gas fields. Reliable and accurate design of mud weight is the key to having a safe wellbore. Many wellbore stability problems occur because of the inaccurate mud weight in both gas and oil reservoirs. Inaccurate and even sometimes wrong mud weight is caused by lack of adequate knowledge about the field geomechanics. Quantifying the geomechanical uncertainties allows taking the knowledge incompleteness into account. It can reduce the risks of unreliable mud weight design. The geomechanical parameters are only known at some sparse points of measurements. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the parameters in the whole reservoir as if there is a decision to drill an infill well or conduct a well work-over or side-track an old well. Geostatistical algorithms are utilized to create 3D mechanical earth modeling (MEM) of the system. Several MEM realizations are created to span the range of geomechanical uncertainty adequately. The mud window is designed under uncertainty based on Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria. In this article, at first, 1D MEMs at well locations are built by the available data, and then ordinary Kriging is used to propagate 1D MEMs onto 3D MEM. Smooth plus rough - nonlinear problem (LMAP) and Rough plus smooth - nonlinear problem (RML approximate) are the methodologies applied to quantify the geomechanical uncertainties. In the end, the optimum mud window and the corresponding uncertainty ranges are identified based on the posterior probability distribution of geomechanical parameters in one of the gas reservoirs in the south of Iran. The resulting mud window is narrower compared to the mud window designed with prior information. Consequently, mud window design would be more reliable with less possibility of kick or any wellbore instability.
