Geomechanics of Oil Gas and Petroleum

The application of geomechanics to oil and gas field development improves the asset's economic performance significantly. The geomechanical challenges that affect field development begin during exploration and continue to influence appraisal and development decisions until the field is abandoned. Geomechanics is the study of how underlying rocks deform or fail in reaction to stress, pressure, and temperature changes, and it's becoming more significant in oil and gas development. Geomechanics is the study of the mechanical behavior of geological materials, both theoretically and practically. It is utilized to mitigate risks and maximize profits associated with reservoir and surrounding formation mechanical failure as a result of oil and gas exploration and production activities.
