Applied Petroleum Geomechanics provides a bridge between theory and practice as a daily use reference that contains direct industry applications. Going beyond the basic fundamentals of rock properties, this guide covers critical field and lab tests, along with interpretations from actual drilling operations and worldwide case studies, including abnormal formation pressures from many major petroleum basins. Rounding out with borehole stability solutions and the geomechanics surrounding hydraulic fracturing and unconventional reservoirs, this comprehensive resource gives petroleum engineers a much-needed guide on how to tackle today’s advanced oil and gas operations.
- Presents methods in formation evaluation and the most recent advancements in the area, including tools, techniques and success stories
- Bridges the gap between theory of rock mechanics and practical oil and gas applications
- Helps readers understand pore pressure calculations and predictions that are critical to shale and hydraulic activity
