CCUS
✓ In-situ petrophysical and anisotropic geomechanical modeling.
✓ Stress-dependent petrophysics and geomechanics – properties vs. effective stress for different injection pressures.
✓ Thermal impact in stress modeling.
✓ Geochemistry for geomechanics – dissolving and precipitation as a function on injection in stress redistribution and petrophysical change in 1D and 3D view.
✓ Effect of injection in rock ballooning (weakening) and its influence in rock mechanics and geomechanics.
✓ Identifying the critical stressed zones based on Mohr-coulomb envelopes.
✓ Combining all the above factors to identify the environmentally safe injection limits and pressure estimation for drilling and injection – following all the EPA guidelines.
✓ Capturing seal integrity and formation loss.
✓ Identifying induced seismicity based on stress anisotropy as a function of injection: breakdown vs. fracturing vs. early injection stress reversals.
✓ 3D stress dependent geomechanics based on facies approach.
✓ New method to recalculate the geomechanical units (GMUs), pressure, stress and strength as a function of faults and fractures in 1D and 3D.
✓ Stress rate analysis to integrate and validate geomechanical units.
