Rock mechanics forms part of the much broader subject of geomechanics, which is concerned with the mechanical responses of all geological materials, including soils. Rock mechanics, as applied in engineering geology, mining, petroleum, and civil engineering practice, is concerned with the application of the principles of engineering mechanics to the design of the rock structures ...

An important and critical key for increased production from shale plays is to properly characterize the geomechanical properties of the producing formation and caprock. This includes identifying stress direction and optimum well trajectory and fracture orientation, understanding and taking advantage of the relationship between matrix permeability, natural fracture permeability, ...
by:GeoMechanics Technologies based inMonrovia, CALIFORNIA (USA)
GeoMechanics Technologies can evaluate and analyze well log data, seismic data, and core data to develop 3D geomechanical models for a field. These can subsequently be used to optimize drilling and production strategies. ...
by:ITASCA Software based inMinneapolis, MINNESOTA (USA)
Advanced geomechanical modeling can be used to understand long-term reservoir behavior. Validated models help to optimize fracturing and increase reservoir productivity and recovery. Geomechanical models can also be used to investigate longer term effects, such as compaction and ...
Manufactured by:Kutec AG based inSondershausen, GERMANY
Like a Swiss army knife - The Mining department has just about as many functions and applications as a Swiss army knife. There are many different tasks and projects extending to the four corners of the globe: deposit modelling, mine planning steps for underground extraction operations or for solution mining, maintenance concepts for abandoned mines, including securing of abandoned shafts, ...

Itasca provides solutions for storage of natural gas or compressed air in lined and unlined caverns. Our diverse team with expertise in analyzing geo-structural interaction, geomechanical, thermal and creep coupled problems assesses the stability and long term performance of storage caverns due to combinations of critical loading conditions in singular and group cavern settings ...
by:GeoMechanics Technologies based inMonrovia, CALIFORNIA (USA)
The weight of overburden sediments above a producing formation is supported partially by the rock matrix and partially by pressurized fluid within the porespace. When fluid pressure is reduced by oil and gas production, more of the load is transferred to the rock matrix, resulting in formation compaction. ...
by:RESPEC based inRapid City, SOUTH DAKOTA (USA)
Laboratory measurements are often the cornerstone for the geomechanics studies required in the design of underground excavations. The Materials Testing Laboratory at RESPEC provides all the testing and materials characterization services needed for rock salt applications. Our services include routine and custom-designed testing and analysis programs to resolve specific salt ...

Wellbore instability while drilling can take many familiar forms such as stuck pipe, hole squeezing, lost circulation, severely-enlarged hole or difficult directional control. Some related problems can arise when these wells are finally drilled to target, including uncertain formation evaluation, poor cementing, casing deformations, and ineffective perforating. These issues cost the world-wide ...
