ABSTRACT:
The potential for failure of a formation is predicated by using standard logging apparatus and techniques to monitor the change in a formation characteristic over an extended time period. Changes in this characteristic are attributed to absorption of fluid by the formation which could lead to a possible breakdown of the structural integrity of the formation.
