An analytical technique that integrates core-based rock mechanics with openhole geophysical logs is valuable for drilling and completion operations, especially for high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) wells, horizontal wells and openhole completions. The rock mechanics algorithm (RMA) uses log-derived mechanical properties for drilling and production engineering applications. Two case histories from the South China Sea are presented. The first history involves a horizontal drilling and completion design project that includes hole stability and sand prediction. While the second history involves optimal bit program and wellbore stability analyses for a HPHT well.
