Geomechanics Applications in Heavy Oil

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

Geomechanics plays a critical role in successfully optimizing heavy oil/oil sands exploitation. This course can help understand the essential aspects of geomechanics in thermal operations for heavy oil production enabling an engineer or geoscientist to make better field development and operational decisions.

This course introduces the necessary fundamentals of geomechanics as applied to oil sands, effect of increased pressure and temperature on reservoir stresses and rock properties, critical elements of caprock integrity analysis, understanding expectations of regulatory boards, ground uplift, reservoir compaction and subsidence, reservoir geomechanics thermal coupled simulation, monitoring techniques for reservoir compaction/subsidence, caprock integrity, casing integrity.
