Geomechanics for well engineers
This workshop introduces the key principles of geomechanics essential for well design, drilling, and completion. Participants will learn how to evaluate in-situ stresses, pore pressure, and rock properties to prevent wellbore instability, sanding, and fracturing issues. The session focuses on practical applications of geomechanical models to support safer and more efficient drilling and production operations.
Workshop Objectives
• Understand the fundamental concepts of rock mechanics and in-situ stresses.
• Learn methods for predicting pore pressure and fracture gradients.
• Analyze wellbore stability challenges and mitigation techniques.
• Apply geomechanical models to optimize drilling and completion design.
