15. A system comprising:
a wellsite having a borehole penetrating a subterranean formation in a field; and
a data gathering and analysis system comprising:
a processor; and
memory storing instructions, when executed by the computer processor comprising functionality for:
acquiring computed tomography (CT) scan data of a metal-cement core sample and a cement-rock core sample that are associated with a borehole;
generating, based on the CT scan data of the metal-cement core sample and the cement-rock core sample, a three-dimensional (3D) image of a synthesized metal, cement, and rock core sample;
identifying, in the 3D image, structural pores and heterogeneous material segments in each of a metal section, cement section, and rock section of the synthesized metal, cement, and rock core sample, wherein the heterogeneous material segments comprise minerals, sand, and steel;
generating, by at least assigning corresponding physical properties to the heterogeneous material segments in the 3D image, a composite digital rock model, wherein the physical properties comprise Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and compressive strength of the minerals, sand, and steel;
generating, by at least upscaling the synthesized metal, cement, and rock core sample according to a geometry of the borehole, a multi-scale borehole digital model of the borehole;
simulating, using the multi-scale borehole digital model, a well operation condition of the borehole at different time points to generate a predicted time to cement failure, wherein the cement failure corresponds to when simulated elastic deformation in the cement section exceeds a limit based on the compressive strength in the cement section; and
facilitating, based on the predicted time to cement failure, the field operation.
