COURSE OVERVIEW

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of 4D Reservoir Geomechanics. It covers the basic concepts in reservoir geomechanics and geomechanical modepling; the importance of 4D monitoring in reservoir management; the geomechanical data acquisition, processing, types and sources; the techniques for acquiring and processing geomechanical data and integrating with other subsurface data; the reservoir stress and strain analysis; calculating and interpreting reservoir and strain; the impact of stress and strain on reservoir performance; the failure analysis and applications of rock mechanics; the techniques for modeling rock mechanical properties; and evaluating the likelihood of rock failure and its impact on reservoir performance. During this interactive course, participants will learn the geomechanical modeling techniques; building and calibrating geomechanical models using commercial software; integrating geomechanical models with other subsurface models; the 4D geomechanical monitoring and techniques for monitoring and simulating geomechanical changes over time; evaluating the impact of geomechanical changes on reservoir performance; calculating and interpreting compaction and subsidence and evaluating its impact on reservoir performance; the reservoir stability analysis application and reservoir management; the techniques for assessing reservoir stability and preventing instability; and integrating geomechanical data and models into reservoir management strategies.
