Analytical and Experimental Investigations on Mechanical Properties of Weak Plane Bedding in Mudstone

Wellbore instabilities frequently occur in mudstone formation with weak plane bedding because of strong anisotropies. The mechanics parameters of weak plane bedding are of vital significance to the wellbore stability analysis for mudstone formations. The conventional method for determining the mecha...
