About This Course

This training covers geomechanics applied to unconventional reservoirs. It works through stress and property characterisation in mudrocks, anisotropy and its measurement, mechanical stratigraphy and fracture containment, hydraulic fracture initiation and propagation, stress shadow and cluster spacing, natural fracture interaction, depletion and parent-child well interference, induced seismicity and the geomechanical basis of completion design.
