Casing collapse is one of the major problems in oil fields, imposing a lot of costs on oil companies. This problem occurs not only at drilling times in some formations but also after the completion and production can lead to many problems. Analysis of the behavior of casing collapse in terms of geo-mechanics and solid mechanics could significantly meet the needs of the oil industry of Iran. In ...

This study presents the application of an automated moment tensor analysis procedure on microcracks which were generated during a triaxial compression test of a cylindrical rock salt specimen (diameter 150 mm, length 300 mm). The acoustic emission signals were detected in a frequency range between 20 kHz and 1 MHz using 12 acoustic emission sensors mounted on the surface of the specimen cylinde...

The mechanical characteristics of rock salt have an important influence on the safety of the salt cavity. The acoustic emission (AE) technique was used to analyze the generation of microcracks in rock salt under uniaxial compression condition. By monitoring acoustic emission in whole process of stress strain curve under uniaxial compression test, the damage characteristic of rock salt is obtain...
