Abstract
Several oil industry operations, like borehole stability, pore collapse analysis and hydraulic fracturing, demand<br>rock mechanical knowledge that sometimes is unavailable or is only poorly known. Statistical relationships<br>defined through dynamic and static rock properties, simultaneously determined in lab tests, yield a novel<br>approach to continuously evaluate rock strength over whole depth well intervals.
