Wellbore geomechanics for unconventional assets
Unconventional reservoirs present complex geomechanical challenges, from anisotropic rock behavior to tight timelines for drilling and stimulation decisions.
In this session, you’ll learn how an integrated geomechanics workflow connects log data, rock anisotropy, and stimulation design to build reliable mechanical earth models for unconventional assets.
We’ll walk through the most common geomechanical challenges engineers face and outline practical, repeatable steps to construct and maintain robust models. You’ll also see how rock behaviour can be incorporated directly into the analysis to improve confidence in results.
Finally, we’ll demonstrate how SLB AI‑enabled workflows can streamline data preparation and calibration loops, with examples showing around a 50% reduction in geomechanics model construction time, while keeping models aligned with operational drilling needs.
