Geomechanics for well engineers
Premium Workshop
For PEA Members Only
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.
About the Presenter
The workshop is conducted by an experienced industry professional with a strong background in drilling operations, well integrity, and reservoir management. The presenter shares field-based insights and practical approaches to help participants apply geomechanical principles effectively in real-world well engineering scenarios.

Foundation of SPE PRMS
This foundation workshop teaches you SPE PRMS, the oil and gas industry's standard system for classifying and reporting reserves. You'll learn why hydrocarbons in the ground aren't reserves, why every reserve must be tied to a real project, and how volumes move from discovered to commercial to booked. We use ultra-heavy oil field as a real-world case study to show how it all plays out.Built for engineers, geologists, and finance teams who work with reserves.
