Applied Reservoir Geomechanics - aspects of 3D and 4D geomechanics modeling

Level: Advanced | Type: Classroom | Discipline: Unconventional Reservoirs

This course covers key concepts of petroleum related geomechanics with a focus on geomechanical processes occurring during reservoir production, depletion and injection. The course addresses technical challenges encountered during exploration and production of complex hydrocarbon reservoirs. The course will explain the physical process of rock deformation and failure and its implication for exploration and development. It will introduce the key workflows of reservoir geomechanics as these relate to deep water exploration and production, HPHT reservoirs, tight reservoirs, fractured reservoirs, and gas storage. Building 3D geomechanics models and examining 4D reservoir geomechanics processes using geomechanics simulators will be explained using case studies from recent projects.
