Evaluating water-induced wellbore instability in shale formations: a comparative analysis of transversely isotropic strength criteria

This study addresses wellbore instability in shale formations by conducting mechanical experiments on bedded shale samples with varying hydration times. We fitted experimental data using two anisotropic strength criteria to determine the shale’s strength parameters. A transverse isotropic stress mod...
