Lithological Constraints on Borehole Wall Failure; a Study on the Pennine Coal Measures of the United Kingdom

Stress-related borehole deformation features have been documented across the United Kingdom, most commonly as borehole breakouts and drilling induced tensile fractures (DIFs). Recent studies using borehole imaging have allowed more detailed investigation of these features and the processes that cont...
