Services Areas
We provide specialized services in Petroleum Geomechanics.
Coding
Development of software: 1) finite element code on GPU (speed-up the analyses), 2) Abaqus plugins (automated model building), 3) Abaqus user-friendlyinterface, 4) wellbore satbility, 5) wellbore cleaning, 6) Reservoir geomechanics coupling
Analises
Assessment of Complex geomechanical problems: drilling through the salt layer (evaluation of closure), casing integrity due to the salt creep loading, Annular pressure build-up , and the effect of the salt dissolution on the wellbore closuse and casing integrity
Laboratory tests
Providing of rock mechanics and petrophysics tests: 1) rock sample preparation, 2) triaxial test (GCTS system), 3) gas-porosimeter and mercury intrusion porosimeter, 4) petrographic microscope and 5) hydraulic fracture simulator
Geological/Geomechanical modelig
Building geomechanical earth model: subsurface geology, rock properties distribution, characterization of salt sequence and domes, in situ stress state model, and pore pressure model.
Course
Geomechanics applied in oil production: 1) introduction to geomechanics, 2) Drilling in salt layer, 3) reservoir geomechanics, 4) wellbore stability, 5) Abaqus applied in geomechanics (basic and advanced), and 6) Artificial Intelligence (TensorFlow)
Artificial intelligence and data analysis
Applying artificial intelligence and data analysis in geomechanics: We have been researching how to take advantage of the AI and data analysis powerful capabilities in the geomechanical analyses.
