There are number of challenges in unconventional reservoir completions that will benefit from geomechanical considerations. Examples include complex hydraulic fracture development in naturally fractured reservoir, altered in situ stresses due to production, and reservoir re-stimulation, and coupled thermo-poro-mechanics processes.  Recognizing the critical need to understand fundamental mechanisms involved in unconventional reservoir development, the “Geomechanics for …

Software training for Members in Transition only. You must be a professional member of SPE not currently working for an employer to take this class.  No Walkins. Summary: The course demonstrates making optimal maps, using the Kingdom software. The process of creating geologic maps involves three steps: Gridding, interpreting and communication. Students will review multiple gridding algorithms …
