To drill in 45 deg direction

the Mw needed is 1.30 –
1.32 Sg to prevent Failure
(Breakout) in ID & D1

 Conclusion & Recommendation:

Careful tripping through ID with a good hole cleaning.

The best Mw to prevent Failure (Breakout) is 1.30 – 1.32 Sg
In the direction of 45 deg Azim.

Mw 1.21 Sg can Make ID & D1 Stable in Azim 310 deg which
is the best Azimuth.

The mechanical Earth model has been generated based on

the Pore pressure data given by Sonatrach DP, from the
Offset OMLz-662 ( 390 Bar).
