... Abstract In 1D Geomechanics projects, calibration of stress is extremely important in the construction of a valid Mechanical Earth Model (MEM). The minimum horizontal stress data is usually available from LOT (Leak-off test), XLOT (Extended Leak-off test), Open hole stress tests, or cased hole...

... result. Thus, hydraulic fracturing optimization both in design and execution are critical to increase success ratio and to contribute more oil production. One of the efforts is delivering fit-to-purpose design through fracture height growth identification and mitigation. A mechanical earth model (MEM...

... and in special with fault reactivation due to water injection, which can lead to a connection between different layers and reservoirs. The object of this study is a faulted turbidity reservoir in Campos basin where a water injection project has started. The Mechanical Earth Model (MEM) was developed...

... cause’s unnecessary lost time during drilling and poor zonal isolation of the target zone, can potentially jeopardize the economic feasibility of a project. For this reservoir, a geomechanical study was applied, and a mechanical earth model (MEM) was built. The model utilized multidisciplinary data...

..., and the laboratory core measurements. Figure 3 Mechanical earth model for Well 1 (reference well) and comparison between calculated borehole failure and caliper log. Abstract As an oil field depletes, stress and pressure change in the reservoir. Water and gas breakthrough are also expected...

... and the subsurface picture becomes clearer, the appropriate well design flexibility is being achieved using Mechanical Earth Model (MEM) technology. This approach to well planning is particularly beneficial for deepwater exploration. For deepwater subsalt plays, the capital outlays are immense, with single wells...
