... of wellbore stability problems or lost circulation events are likely, it is important to establish the limits of a safe operating mud window by utilizing a geomechanical model that incorporates the pore pressure, the stress magnitudes and orientations, the rock strength, and the well trajectory.

... as a complication that needs to be corrected for. The new interpretation method is based on the observation in geomechanical modelling that thinner, stiffer or undepleted parts of the reservoir act as stress attractors, which "arch away" overburden load from thicker, more compressible or strongly depleted parts...

... this information are based on two dimen- sional (2D) or pseudo-three dimensional (3D) kine- matic reconstructions and some limited 2D finite element geomechanics models. The kinematic reconstructions try to trace back encountered cross sections by relying solely on con- servation of mass. As Plischke, et al. (1991...
