Research Interests

Currently working on wellbore instability problems from a numerical and analytical perspective. The primary aim is to analyse wellbore instability due to various mechanical factors including rate of penetration, weight on bit, rate of loading, rotation speed, etc. The findings will be used to evaluate the extent of aggravation in rock formations around the wellbore.
