Effect of Seepage Force on the Wellbore Breakdown of a Vertical Wellbore by Desheng Zhou, Haiyang Wang, Yafei Liu, Shun Liu, Xianlin Ma, Wenbin Cai, Hai Huang

“…Also studied are the effects of the two horizontal principal stresses and the reservoir permeability on the action of seepage force. The paper proves that seepage force lowers formation breakdown pressure of a vertical wellbores; the deeper a formation is, the greater action of the seepage force; seepage force contributes more to breakdown formation with small difference of the two horizontal stresses such as unconventional reservoirs; seepage force increases as rock permeability decreases, and it should not be ignored in hydraulic fracturing analysis, especially for low-permeability formation.…”
