    Participants in this course will learn about the fundamentals of Geomechanics and the role Geomechanics plays in well planning and operations.  This course will cover the stress tensor, experimental rock mechanics, principal earth stresses, and the origins of pore pressure (including methods for measurement of pore pressure).  Other topics that will be covered in this course include the concept and construction of Mechanical Earth Models (MEM), wellbore geomechanics, modes of rock deformation, and wellbore deformation.

    This course will use lectures and case studies to help participants amplify their learning and skills gained throughout this course. Participants will learn from experts in the Geomechanics field about how to plan for wellbore stability, implement geomechanics solutions while drilling, and the concepts of wellbore strengthening.

    This course is intended to benefit drilling personnel, such as drilling engineers and operations and planning engineers, involved in the planning of well operations.


    Stress tensor, rock mechanical properties, pore pressure, earth stresses, mechanical earth model (MEM), wellbore stability, wellbore deformation, rock failure

    Participants should have a basic knowledge of drilling, as well as an awareness of well planning and well programming.
