3D geomechanical modeling, wellbore stability analysis improve field's performance

摘要

Although 70 years are just a blip in geologic time, they represent the entire period that oil and gas companies have been modeling and simulating reservoirs. Of course, much has changed in terms of the technology available since the early 1940s, but the fundamental purpose has remained the same. Critical field investment and development decisions must be based on the best possible information, predictions and intelligence, gained from accurate, detailed modeling.
