December 11-12, 2023 (2 half days) - 8.00 AM-12.00 PM CST


By purchasing this course, the buyer accepts our Terms and Conditions


Type: online

  

Audience: Development/exploration geologists, drilling engineers and operation geologists wanting to gain a deep understanding of the geomechanics principles that govern wellbore stability.

  

Summary: This course covers the fundamentals of building a geomechanical model from data to workflows. The geomechanical model is applied to optimize the mud program and casing points to achieve a stable borehole while reducing the non-productive time. The driving mechanisms behind wellbore instability will be discussed and diagnostic indicators reviewed. 


What you will learn

  • Geomechanical model building
  • How to mine geomechanical data from drilling reports
  • How to use drilling experience to calibrate a geomechanical model 
  • Pore pressure and fracture gradient calculations 
  • Impact of wellbore trajectory and drilling practices on wellbore stability 
  • Impact of thermal stresses and mud chemistry on wellbore stabiltiy


Our instructors: Ewerton Araujo, PhD., Fermin Fernandez-Ibanez, PhD., Jorge Pastor, PhD. Read more about our instructors here.
