Q3) You are in charge of drilling operations in a sedimentary basin. The figure bellow gives the setting. Prior to drilling you have performed a numerical analysis. The table below states the necessary information at the bottom of the shale layer and at the top of the sandstone layer. Assume hydrostatic pore pressure throughout the reservoir. Stress results from your numerical models at 2250m: To [MPa] Rock layer Sy [MPa] S [MPa] S, [MPa] [deg] So [MPa] Shale Sandstone 55.2 55.2 65 40 30 20 10 0.25 30 25 30 10 5 0.25 planned wellpath Shale thickness- 2250m Sandstone: thidkness 250m A. Your drilling crew on the rig wants to drill with a setting P-Po through the shale. Will you approve this and give permission? Prove your decision by calculating the necessary stresses and show a Mohr Circle construction so that the driller can understand your reason.

2. Sand at a given relative density has a friction angle of approximately 33° (relatively low stress). When the sample is unsaturated at a given value of saturation (not given to you), the specimen has a negative pore pressure of 5 kPa. How tall a sandcastle "vertical" wall can you construct? What would happen to your sandcastle if the level of saturation suddenly increased? (Assume a total unit weight of 18 kN/m³)
