Petrophysical and geomechanical characteristics of Canadian tight oil and liquid-rich gas reservoirs: II. Geomechanical property estimation

摘要

The results from an ongoing laboratory study investigating geomechanical characteristics of the Montney and Bakken formations in Canada are presented. The primary objectives are to (1) characterize the basic geomechanical properties of these formations in areas with limited datasets and (2) investigate the interrelationship between various petrophysical and geomechanical characteristics of these fine-grained tight reservoirs.
