Geomechanics and Rock Mechanics for Drilling Optimization

A focused program on using geomechanics to plan and execute safer, faster wells. Participants apply stress, pore pressure, and rock property models to stabilize wellbores, reduce NPT, and improve drilling performance across complex formations.
Workshop Objectives
• Build and calibrate 1D geomechanical models using logs, image data, and offset wells
• Define safe mud weight windows and trajectories to manage stability, losses, and kicks
• Optimize BHA and drilling parameters using rock strength and failure criteria
• Implement real-time surveillance to update models and prevent instability and stuck pipe
About the Presenter
Delivered by a senior geomechanics specialist with field and office experience across exploration, appraisal, and development drilling. Instruction emphasizes practical model building, defensible assumptions, and tools that translate subsurface understanding into stable, efficient well delivery.
Introduction to AI in Oil & Gas: Opportunities and Challenges
