Minimum compression at vertical wellbore

Input(s)

Shmin S_{\text {hmin }}: Minimum Horizontal Stress (psi)

Shmax S_{\text {hmax }}: Maximum Horizontal Stress (psi)

PoP_{o}: Pore Pressure (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

P: Pressure Drawdown (psi)

σt\sigma_{t}: Thermal Stress (psi)

Output(s)

σminaxial \sigma_{\text {minaxial }}: Minimum Axial Stress (psi)

Formula(s)

σminaxial =3 ShminShmax2PoPσt\sigma_{\text {minaxial }}=3 * \mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{h} \min }-\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{h} \max }-2 * \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{o}}-\mathrm{P}-\sigma_{\mathrm{t}}
