Practical Petroleum Geomechanics

Course Objectives

​

  • The origin of stresses in the subsurface and what constitutes a geomechanical model

  • Rock mechanical properties such as rock strength, Poisson's Ratio, Young's Modulus

  • Pore pressure and how it is measured and modelled

  • Building a 1D in-situ stress model from wireline data

  • Calibrating and confirming a geomechanical model

  • How a geomechanical model can be used for wellbore stability predictions

Who should attend the course:
 
Wellsite & Operations Geologists, Drillers, Mud loggers, Petrophysicists, Asset Managers, Production Technologists, Completion/Well Engineers, Geomechanics Engineers, Reservoir & Petroleum Engineers
 
 
Attendees are required to bring their laptop.

Course Overview
