Rock Mechanics Primer.

  2. sH sh Rock Mechanics Primer • Day 1 (Morning) • Introduction • Analysis of Stress and Strain • Elasticity • Fluid Pressure and Flow in Rock • Effective Stress Principle • General Concepts of Poro-Elasticity • Failure in Rock • Brittle-Elastic failure • Elasto-plastic failure • Strain-hardening • In-Situ Stress determination • Solving problems (in the classroom) • Day 1 (Afternoon) • Evaluating Low Permeability Fractured Gas Reservoirs • General characteristics of Low Permeability Fractured • Reservoirs • Key gas reservoir properties controlling production • Properties for gas in place assessment • Properties for deliverability assessment • Recommended Non-conventional Core Analysis for Low • permeability,fractured, gas reservoirs. (A Fast Pace Review of Rock Mechanics Fundamentals) This course is a fast pace review of applied rock mechanics fundamentals for fractured rocks. It is aimed at participants with previous exposure to rock mechanics requiring better understanding of the method for solving rock mechanics problems. It is also intended to serve as a primer for those participants attending Immersion 3 in Fractured Reservoir. The one-day course includes a combination of theoretical instruction and applied rock mechanics instruction. The cost per participant is $900US. Discounts are provided for groups larger than 10 participants or for participants registering in more than one course.

Rock Mechanics Aspects of Fractured Reservoirs • Day 2 (Morning) • To be specified • Day 2 (Afternoon) • Topics: Diagnosis and interpretation of naturally fractured reservoirs using well testing • Outline: • Single fracture vs. multiple fractures • Concept of dual-porosity-permeability (dual continuum) • Permeability anisotropy and flow preferential direction • The essential concepts behind the well testing • Diagnosis/interpretation: single-well drawdown and buildup tests • Diagnosis/interpretation: multi-well interference and pulsing tests • Instructor: • Dr. Larry Teufel and Dr. Her-Yuan Chen • Professors, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (A two day course in rock mechanics methods for analysis of naturally fractured reservoirs) This course is a comprehensive review of rock mechanics methodology for analysis of naturally fractured reservoirs. It is aimed at participants with basic knowledge in rock mechanics and basic experience with mathematical simulators. The two-day course addresses the basic methodology for fractured reservoir modeling and analysis, including coupled effects and the solution of problems using analytical and numerical approaches. The cost per participant is $1800US. Discounts are provided for groups larger than 10 participants or for participants registering in more than one course.
