Resumo:
Some of the most common problems reported during well drilling, such as instability, loss of circulation and wellbore collapse can be avoided with real-time access, among others, to the unconfined compressive strength of rocks. The most usual methods for estimating unconfined compressive strength have three main re-strictions regarding their real time application: i) real-time logging may not occur along the entire trajectory of the well and is more common at depths close to the reservoir; ii) obtaining samples from the well for laboratory tests is costly and un-usual practice and; iii) information regarding drill bit geometry is restricted to man-ufacturers. In this context, this research focuses on the adaptation of an unconfined compressive strength estimation method to make real-time application possible, based on the hypothesis that drilling is fundamentally controlled by the interaction between the drill bit and rock formation and that the confined compressive strength is related to a portion of the mechanical specific energy. The developed methodol-ogy was applied in one well, tested in nine other wells and will be implemented in the SEST TR 2.0 stability program. Knowing that unconfined compressive strength is a function of cohesion and friction angle, the cohesion of the rock for-mation was also calculated. This study concludes that it is possible to estimate both mechanical properties in real time using only drilling data.
