Geomechanical properties of caprock shale formations for SAGD operations play a critical role in its integrity and must be well characterized. As a component of the development of a SAGD project, numerical simulations are used extensively to understand the uncertainties and forecast the economics...

Investigating Stress Concentrations near Boreholes in Anisotropic Formations and the Mechanical Behavior of Drilling-induced Tensile Fractures
DownloadFall 2015
With the increasing exploitation of unconventional reservoirs, the demands of implementing geomechanics to improve the exploration and development process have been greater than before. Knowledge of in-situ stresses and rock failure mechanisms is key for building a comprehensive geomechanical...
