Maximum principal stress calculation using breakout width

Input(s)

Shmin S_{\text {hmin }}: Minimum Principal Stress in Reservoir (psi)

CoC_{o}: Distance from Wellbore (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

Pp: Pore Pressure (psi)

Sdt\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{dt}}: Stress induced Due to Temperature (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

dP\mathrm{dP}: Difference Between Wellbore Pressure and Mud Weight (psi)

Θ\Theta: Angle from Wellbore Breakout Width (rad)

Output(s)

ShminS_{h m i n}: Maximum Principal Stress in Reservoir (psi)

Formula(s)

Shmax=((Co)+2Pp+dP+Sdt)Shmin(1+2cos(Θ))12cos(Θ)\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{hmax}}=\frac{\left(\left(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)+2 * \mathrm{Pp}+\mathrm{dP}+\mathrm{Sdt}\right)-\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{hmin}} *(1+2 * \cos (\Theta))}{1-2 * \cos (\Theta)}
