Comprehensive rock mechanics testing by Schlumberger Reservoir Laboratory differentiates rocks with accelerated compaction based on porosity.

A rock mechanics study was conducted on a depleting reservoir to mitigate risks from reservoir compaction.

This paper focuses on how we approached optimization of casing design and mud formulation.

This paper explains how integrating logs with core data is key to understanding reservoir properties.

The study of how soils and rocks deform in response to changes of environmental parameters.
