Integrated Analysis of the 3D Geostress and 1D Geomechanics of an Exploration Well in a New Gas Field

The aim of this study was to propose the workflow for integrated analysis 3D geostress and 1D geomechanics an exploration in a new gas field. This will allow problems associated with inaccuracy geomechanical be overcome region obvious anticline/syncline structures. well field mainly included prediction pore pressure calculation mud weight window safe drilling. In general, both method window, numerical solution plus interval velocity formations. procedure target block also introduced. Numerical field, as solutions analysis, have demonstrated efficiency practical use proposed theory successful drilling LT-1 Junggar Basin, Xinjiang, China. For TS block, there no logging data refer when predicting undrilled Only could used calculate window. Influences anticline structures were considered geostress. Since accuracy is higher than single results are more accurate those obtained conventional analysis. Details finite element modeling presented along With formations carried out 7000 m-deep pilot well. Finally, calculations performed values
