Petroleum engineers have a difficult time making the leap between theory of rock mechanics and practical applications surrounding petroleum geomechanics, especially in more complex operations such as hydraulic fracturing. Applied Petroleum Geomechanics provides a bridge between theory and practice as a daily reference with direct industry application. Going beyond the basic fundamentals of rock properties, this guide covers critical field and lab tests along with interpretations that follow within actual drilling operations and worldwide case studies, including abnormal formation pressures from many major petroleum basins. Rounding out with borehole stability solutions and the geomechanics surrounding hydraulic fracturing and unconventional reservoirs, Applied Petroleum Geomechanics gives petroleum engineers a much-needed resource to tackle today's advanced oil and gas operations.
