After four years of depressed oil and gas activity worldwide, the oil price has rebounded and stabilised somewhat at a level the industry is confident with to move forward with investment decisions. Operators that survived the oil price crisis are now reviving investments and expenditure with an imperative focus on risk versus value. While the four-year stagnation has seen a reduction in service rates leading to lower project costs, greater technical challenges coupled with increasing raw material costs have led to intense scrutiny and higher commercial expectations to safeguard against sustained oil price volatility. Projects are made lean in order to make the gruelling cut into commercial viability while eliminating elements that are deemed not value driven. Since mid-2014, some operators appeared to have shifted away from subscribing to geomechanics in their pursuit to maximise assets value despite the awareness of geomechanics’ integral application throughout the asset lifecycle. What are the underlying factors that caused this shift? What needs to be done to restore the mind-set that geomechanics enables the maximisation of asset value? This workshop aims to address the value creation issues associated with the applications of geomechanics in a project’s life cycle. The discussions will span across multiple length scale (from inches at wellbore to kilometres at reservoir) and time scale (from days of drilling to decades of reservoir production). The three technical sessions will address key challenges and value proposition in drilling and well architecture, completion and production operations, reservoir management and surveillance, and abandonment and decommissioning as well as two topical sessions on carbonate and unconventional geomechanics. The workshop is a platform to exchange of ideas and best practices with a focus on addressing ‘pain’ points and how to bring value to these assets. In the wake of the Fourth Industrial Era (Industry 4.0), data has been pegged as the new “oil”, generating predictions through artificial intelligence and data analytics with pace and accuracy. Geomechanics revolves around interpretation of data gathered and compiled through the years from various regions globally. This workshop will feature a panel discussion on data analytics in geomechanics with experts from both inside and outside of the oil and gas industry to find ‘commonalities’ that can be drawn in parallel to unlock values through advancing digital transformation in the upstream sector. A second panel session discussing the different perspectives on assets’ value creation through traditional geomechanical workflows will also be featured.

After four years of depressed oil and gas activity worldwide, the oil price has rebounded and stabilised somewhat at a level the industry is confident with to move forward with investment decisions. Operators that survived the oil price crisis are now reviving investments and expenditure with an imperative focus on risk versus value. While the four-year stagnation has seen a reduction in service rates leading to lower project costs, greater technical challenges coupled with increasing raw material costs have led to intense scrutiny and higher commercial expectations to safeguard against sustained oil price volatility. Projects are made lean in order to make the gruelling cut into commercial viability while eliminating elements that are deemed not value driven. Since mid-2014, some operators appeared to have shifted away from subscribing to geomechanics in their pursuit to maximise assets value despite the awareness of geomechanics’ integral application throughout the asset lifecycle. What are the underlying factors that caused this shift? What needs to be done to restore the mind-set that geomechanics enables the maximisation of asset value?

This workshop aims to address the value creation issues associated with the applications of geomechanics in a project’s life cycle. The discussions will span across multiple length scale (from inches at wellbore to kilometres at reservoir) and time scale (from days of drilling to decades of reservoir production). The three technical sessions will address key challenges and value proposition in drilling and well architecture, completion and production operations, reservoir management and surveillance, and abandonment and decommissioning as well as two topical sessions on carbonate and unconventional geomechanics. The workshop is a platform to exchange of ideas and best practices with a focus on addressing ‘pain’ points and how to bring value to these assets.

In the wake of the Fourth Industrial Era (Industry 4.0), data has been pegged as the new “oil”, generating predictions through artificial intelligence and data analytics with pace and accuracy. Geomechanics revolves around interpretation of data gathered and compiled through the years from various regions globally. This workshop will feature a panel discussion on data analytics in geomechanics with experts from both inside and outside of the oil and gas industry to find ‘commonalities’ that can be drawn in parallel to unlock values through advancing digital transformation in the upstream sector. A second panel session discussing the di�erent perspectives on assets’ value creation through traditional geomechanical workflows will also be featured.

mechanical properties in rocks, has been for decades used by many operators as a regular engineering tool for reducing costs, risks and cycle times (e�ciency), enhancing well productivity and reservoir recovery (e�ectiveness), and ultimately maximising the assets’ net present value (NPV). However, in today’s market, driving towards capital e�ciency, the imperative focus on risk versus value has led some operators to abandon geomechanics in their pursuits to lower project costs even in technically di�cult and high-risk environments.

Is this paradigm shift result of short-term financial mandate or evolvement of the industry to be more risk-tolerant? Is this change in the mindset a consequence of the geomechanics community’s ineptness to work with other subsurface disciplines in integrated applications, or is it because of the lack of competent resources to apply, capture and report the value of geomechanics during the assets’ life cycle? This panel session will seek the perspectives of industry experts on how to restore geomechanics as a technology enabler and how to use it more e�ectively to maximise value creation.

1215 – 1315 Networking Luncheon1315 – 1515 Session 3: Managing the Challenges in Wellbore Stability Session Managers: Mohammed Azeemuddin, Chevron; Frans Mulders, Lloyd's Register; Kun Su, TOTAL S.A Non-productive time (NPT), due to wellbore instabilities and fluid losses, costs the oil

industry billions of dollars each year. Estimates are that they account for nearly 20% of total well construction costs. This number can even go up to 32% for deepwater wells.

Narrow mud weight windows often encountered in deepwater wells, weak formations, overpressured or depleted zones, and drilling through reactive shales and active faults are just a few of the challenges which can cause lost circulations, pressure kicks, pack-o�s, di�erential sticking and stuck pipe.

This session will address wellbore instability issues with case studies and research, especially in areas where significant drilling NPT led to serious business implications. This session will also discuss the latest innovations and novel ideas that have created value by improving drilling performance and well delivery e�ciency.

Rig-based real time monitoring of wellbore stability advances in wellbore shielding and wellbore strengthening and integration of geomechanics with drilling practices would be amongst the topics to be discussed.

to curtail production, resulting in not only a loss of revenue but also increased costs due to frequent shutdowns for removal and disposal of production by-products. To

make up for the production loss, many operators are exploiting deeper but tighter reservoirs. These reservoirs often require hydraulic fracturing stimulation technique to

increase the reservoir contact areas in order to achieve production rates that would

Nik Zarina Suryana Nik Khamsani, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd; Skaow Kusolsong, PTTEP

This session will focus on state-of-the-art technology and solutions to monitor and mitigate potential geomechanics-related events during dynamic field life from start of production until abandonment of a field. The events can occur both in the reservoir and overburden, and at di�erent stages of field life. Compaction-subsidence will occur as a result of depletion, injection for either pressure maintenance, EOR or storage can pose risks to cap rock integrity and loss of containment, whilst cement plug failure is one of the potential issues associated with plugging and abandonment (P&A) and decommissioning. Addressing and managing these geomechanics-related events early can protect the assets and optimise value of the field.

0900 – 1100 Session 6: Panel Session - Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Applications in Geomechanics

Session Managers: Thanavathy Patma Nesan, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd; Tan Chee Phuat, PETRONAS Research Sdn Bhd In the wake of the Fourth Industrial Era (Industry 4.0), data has been

pegged as the new “oil” and used in constructing models and generating predictions through artificial intelligence and data analytics with pace and accuracy. Geomechanics revolves around the interpretation of data and records gathered through years of compiled information from fields and regions. Interpreted data and records can be used as input into artificial intelligence and data analytics algorithms and systems to take geomechanics into the next exciting horizon.

Panellists will gather to discuss artificial intelligence and data analytics technology from industries, both inside and outside oil and gas, and explore commonalities that can be drawn to aspire the application of digital technologies in geomechanics and other subsurface domains. The discussion will potentially include facilitation of aerial field development to subsurface model construction and simulation, and well health check through knowledge and experience of multi-disciplinary organisations with varying skillsets. How can this be applied to geomechanics to maximise profitability for assets?

1100 – 1115 Co�ee and Tea Break

1115 - 1315 Session 7: Carbonate Geomechanics Session Managers: Chong Zhou, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd; David Press, Schlumberger

This session will cover all geomechanical aspects related to carbonate formations and the di�erences that must be considered over conventional siliciclastic formations. Almost half of the world's oil and gas reserves reside within carbonate reservoirs and therefore characterisation of field, wellbore and core scales is critical. Carbonate fields are often related to large compaction and subsidence during production, such as in the North Sea and Sarawak basin, leading to careful design considerations for platform and subsea architecture. Many laboratory studies have shown that carbonate materials often exhibit both creep and pore collapse behaviour with increasing isotropic e�ective stress, in addition to shear failure. Material constitutive models should therefore account for these e�ects when calculating anticipated compaction and subsidence, for example. Topics to be discussed are not limited to, but may include:

• Innovative rock mechanical testing on carbonate core • 4D coupled (flow-geomechanical-chemical) reservoir simulations

of carbonate fields • Appropriate constitutive models for carbonates • Fracture characterisation of carbonate reservoirs with the aid of geomechanics

1315 – 1415 Networking Luncheon1415 – 1615 Session 8: Unconventional Geomechanics Session Managers: See Hong Ong, Baker Hughes, a GE company;

Botao Lin, China University of Petroleum (Beijing) Because of their unique characteristics, shale reservoirs present

significant and nontrivial drilling and completion challenges particularly in tectonically active areas. In an e�ort to drive down the lifting cost ($/unit-volume), the industry has been, over the years, very successful in improving operational e�ciencies (factory mode). The completion e�ectiveness, however, is still far from satisfactory. Although geomechanics has been touted to play a critical role in the characterisation and engineering of shale reservoirs, the specifics on the contribution of geomechanics on enhancing stimulation e�ectiveness are still lacking.

To provide further insights into the critical elements for optimisation multi-staged hydraulic fracturing in these ultra-tight formations, this session will address completion challenges such as casing deformation, the roles of natural fracture, stress shadow, well and stage spacing on stimulated reservoir volumes, as well as the influence of carbon and water saturation on the reservoir mechanical response. This improved geomechanical understanding will allow the development of fit-for-purpose and area-specific workflows, and technology and field evaluation methodology, which can be e�ectively deployed to drive capital e�ciency and well deliverability, ultimately maximising the assets’ value creation.

Geomechanics in Wellbore Stability

Daily Technical Programme

0900 – 1030 Session 1: Rock Mechanics Fundamentals A brief overview of the course covering the various aspects of developing a 1-D

mechanical earth model development from log, lab and field data will be given The various applications of rock mechanics/geomechanics application to oil field problems, and the sources of information varying from the most common logs such as sonic, density, etc., to core data generated from laboratory tests to field and empirical data will also be covered. The session will also highlight the importance of calibrating model parameters to field events, and the fundamentals of (rock) mechanics, such as normal and shear stresses on a plane, 1-D, 2-D and 3-D stresses, and principal stresses. Participants will learn how to calculate principal stresses from normal and shear stresses and vice-versa using Mohr’s circle, while learning about the concept of e�ective stress and the various rock properties (elastic and failure parameters). This session will cover:

• Course introduction and application of rock mechanics to oil field industry • Normal, shear and principal stresses • Mohr’s circle and its use • Stress and strain, elastic rock properties • Rock properties from lab, log and empirical correlations

1045 – 1200 Session 2: In-situ Stresses and their Determination This session will describe how to estimate overburden (vertical) and horizontal

stresses from logs. Minimum horizontal stress estimation from overburden stress, pore pressure and rock elastic parameters, such as Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus (applying tectonic strains for complex lithology and boundary conditions) will also be presented. Determination of the rock elastic properties from sonic and density logs, and minimum horizontal stress calibration to closure stress obtained from field tests such as extended leak-o� tests, and mini-fracs will be discussed. Finally, the model calibration to drilling events such as tight holes, lost circulation, breathing and ballooning, and more will also be covered. This session will cover:

• Vertical overburden stress and its estimation • Horizontal stresses and their estimation • Stress anisotropy, image logs, caliper logs • Stress calibration, Leak-o� tests, Formation Integrity tests, drilling events • E�ect of pore pressure and rock properties on minimum horizontal stress • Stress regimes (normal, strike-slip and thrust faulting)

1330 – 1515 Session 3: Near Wellbore Stresses and Rock Failure This session will address near wellbore stresses resulting from drilling a borehole in

an in-situ stress field. It describes the near wellbore stresses and how to estimate them from the existing or in-situ stresses. Impact of mud weight, hole inclination and azimuth, pore pressure, mud cake, and more on the near wellbore stress will be covered. Equations to calculate near wellbore stresses for a general borehole orientation with respect to in-situ stress directions will be provided. Shear and tensile failure modes will be explained and shown from equations for simple cases of wellbore orientation. Signs of rock shear and tensile failure and wellbore instability from drilling events/reports and logs (caliper, image, etc.) will be discussed. Relevant examples from case studies will be shared. This session will cover:

• Hoop, axial and radial stresses • E�ects of wellbore inclination on hoop stress • Shear failure and various shear rock failure criteria • Tensile failure of rock • Safe mud weight window

1530 – 1700 Session 4: Wellbore Stability This session will cover the impact of rock strength, hole inclination and azimuth,

in-situ stresses, pore pressure and mud density on borehole collapse and fracture gradient (tensile failure limit). Filter cake e�ciency on tensile failure will also be reviewed. Discussion will also cover the concept of narrow mud weight window and mitigative measures to drill through such formations, the depletion (and injection) e�ect(s) on safe mud weight window, the concept of partial borehole collapse (breakout), and stress caging (borehole strengthening). Relevant examples from case histories will also be presented. This session will cover:

• E�ects of rock strength, well inclination and azimuth on safe mud weight • E�ects of filter cake, mud density, etc. on stability • Narrow margin drilling, e�ect of water depth, etc. • E�ects of depletion on stability and mud safe weight window

Course DescriptionThis course covers the basic principles of geomechanics as they apply to drilling wells safely. Participants will be able to learn and refresh their knowledge on rock properties, stresses and strength parameters which influence drilling parameters, and how to evaluate or estimate them from available log, lab and field or empirical data. It is especially useful for those who want to understand wellbore stability mechanisms and the role of geomechanics but have not had the background education or hands-on experience in determining rock properties from lab or log data, or in designing mud weights for vertical or inclined wellbores. The course describes the step-by-step procedure for developing a 1-D mechanical earth model (MEM) starting with log data and integrating available lab and drilling data (tight holes, loss circulation events, as well as LOTs/FITs, etc.) for calibration. Calibration of the model to drilling events and mud weight used is an important part of model development. The e�ects of well inclination, azimuth and reservoir depletion on safe mud weight window in isotropic and anisotropic stress fields will be discussed. Examples from case studies relevant to topics discussed will also be presented.

ObjectivesParticipants will be able to learn/refresh and apply the principles of geomechanics to wellbore stability, reduce NPT and drill wells safely. Appropriate examples from case histories will be provided to reinforce the learning principles. The following topics will be covered:• Normal, shear and principal stresses and use of Mohr’s circle • E�ective stresses and shear failure criteria• Understand the basics of in-situ or earth stresses and methods to estimate • Elastic rock properties and rock strength, lab, log and empirical methods to estimate them• Vertical and horizontal stresses from density logs, pore pressure and rock properties• Near wellbore stresses • Tensile rock failure and mud weight window• Leak-o� tests, Formation Integrity tests, minimum horizontal stress or closure stress evaluation• Stress anisotropy and its e�ect on stable mud weight• E�ects of depletion on mud weight window
