Geomechanics for Field Development and Production Management – experience from two decades of reservoir geomechanics studies
- This event has passed.
Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our December 2024 SPE WA Technical Evening Meeting.
About the Presentation:
Modern numerical 3D Geomechanical models can provide detailed subsurface geological understanding to predict failure events impacting reservoir engineering and production management.
Geomechanical models have become a standard input for drilling engineering and well planning and in many companies geomechanical teams today work closely with drilling teams. The same integrated modeling and engineering approach has not taken hold yet when considering reservoir engineering and production management, where the use of geomechanics models and close cooperation between geomechanics and engineering teams can still be improved.
This presentation will show how modern models provide the geomechanical tools to analyse potential wellbore and reservoir failures that can impact production. It will show the useful characteristics a geomechanics model should have to solve production challenges and influence reservoir management decisions.
About the Distinguished Lecturer:
Dr. Juliane Heiland is a Geomechanics Advisor at SLB focusing on rock and soil mechanics applied to a wide range of engineering domains. Her first degree in Engineering Geology from the Technical University Munich gave her a solid geological sciences foundation applied to civil engineering and tunneling. A PhD (from 1994 to 1998) focused on landslide research in Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic. Academic post-doc research at the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam focused on laboratory solutions through high-pressure rock mechanics experiments applied to problems in tunneling and geothermal well productivity. She joined SLB (formerly Schlumberger) as a research scientist in 2001 and worked six years in geomechanical research towards sanding and perforating. In 2007, Juliane moved into field consulting services providing geomechanics engineering solutions to SLB clients in Africa and Europe. After a brief move to the operator side of the industry with Maersk Oil, providing wellbore stability analysis for drilling planning, she returned to SLB in 2015. As Geomechanics Advisor since 2018 Juliane concentrates on training the next generation of geomechanics engineers at SLB and with operators in the wider industry as well as providing input to consulting studies worldwide.
