Borehole Breakouts

Borehole Breakouts is a geomechanical failure phenomenon characterized by the localized compressive spalling of rock along the opposing sides of a wellbore wall, typically oriented within the direction of minimum in-situ horizontal stress, resulting from stress concentration exceeding the rock's compressive strength.
