Practical

Petroleum Geomechanics

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

  • Rock mechanical properties such . as rock strength, Poission'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
