Practical Aspects of Shale Gas Geomechanics

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

Geomechanics plays a critical role in successfully optimizing unconventional reservoir exploitation. This course can help understand the essential aspects of geomechanics in unconventional resource plays enabling an engineer or geoscientist to make better field development decisions. A unique feature of this course is that it provides a unified geomechanics approach combining theoretical, laboratory (core testing) and field aspects.

This course covers the necessary fundamentals of geomechanics including practical definitions of mechanical properties, anisotropy, heterogeneity and their influence on drilling and completions, critical elements in designing hydraulic stimulation and horizontal completions, and best completion practices. Throughout the course, field examples from shale reservoirs are shown to reinforce the geomechanical concepts.

This short course is intended for engineers, geoscientists, and technologists involved in exploration, drilling, completions and production in unconventional reservoirs.

4 years of Geoscience or engineering degree.
