Safe drilling, optimum completion, efficient recovery
Geomecanical modeling is becoming more sought-after and frequently used method for well intervention, drilling and completion. Geomechanical modeling may help produce more accurate well operation forecast, select optimal operating conditions, optimize well design and trajectory incorporating potential geological complications, refine planned completion method and customer's plans. Considering substantial contribution to safety, reduction in well construction time and higher well completion and intervention efficiency, many operating companies opt for geomechanical modeling before spud-in of each well, including production wells.
