Determination of In-Situ Stress and Geomechanical Properties from Borehole Deformation

This paper proposes a cost-effective technique to determine geomechanical properties and in-situ stress from borehole deformation data. In this approach, an artificial neural network (ANN) is applied to map the relationship among in-situ stress, borehole size, geomechanical properties, and borehole...
