Overview
Geomechanics plays a significant role in decisions regarding all
phases of exploration and production in the life cycle of an
asset. Specifically, geomechanics can have an influence on project appraisal, field development and primary, secondary and
tertiary production activities. A more recent focus on unconventional businesses has highlighted the value geomechanics
can bring to the day-to-day running of an oil and gas asset
team, especially in stimulation operations.
Reducing and managing risk for drilling and completions campaigns, enhancing seismic and geological interpretations and
optimising reservoir simulations are some of the key geomechanical initiatives that play an important part in asset management. In fact, when appropriately deployed, geomechanics
can significantly assist asset managers and technologists, reduce uncertainties and improve production in both the conventional and unconventional businesses.
Aims & Objectives
This workshop aims to inform asset managers, technology
leaders, G&G experts and engineers on how to appropriately
integrate geomechanics into their various field development
project activities starting from exploration via drilling to the
full development phase; in other words, across the entire life
cycle of their assets.
Key topics to be discussed during the workshop will address
the issues of data availability and quality at the different
stages of the field’s life, acquiring measurements at various
scales to help reduce uncertainty and translating advanced numerical computations into operational recommendations and
business benefits, especially when risk is at stake.
Sessions will focus on the application of geomechanics to reservoir characterisation, asset management, EOR, drilling and
completion, tight reservoirs and unconventionals; as we approach the subject of knowledge retention and transfer.
