Answers to real-world challenges in petroleum geomechanics including pore pressure and fracture gradient
predictions with this practical reference
Geomechanics
Petroleum engineers have a difficult time making the leap between theory of rock mechanics and practical
applications surrounding petroleum geomechanics especially in more complex operations such as hydraulic
fracturing. Applied Petroleum Geomechanics delivers the bridge between theory and practice as a daily
reference with direct industry applications. Going beyond the basic fundamentals of rock properties and
Jon Jincai Zhang
mechanical behaviors, this guide covers critical field and lab tests along with interpretations that follow
within actual drilling and completion operations and worldwide case studies, including abnormal formation
pressures from many major petroleum basins. Rounding out with borehole stability solutions and the geomechanics
surrounding hydraulic fracturing and unconventional reservoirs, Applied Petroleum Geomechanics gives petroleum
engineers and geologists a much-needed resource to tackle today’s advanced oil and gas operations.

Key Features:
• Explores a great wealth of methods in formation evaluation, geomechanics and the most recent advancements
in the area including tools, techniques, and success stories

• Bridges the gap between theory of rock mechanics and practical oil and gas applications

• Explains pore pressure calculations and predictions critical to deepwater drilling, shale reservoirs and hydraulic
fracturing activity
