Abstract:Reservoir or nonreservoir geomechanics is pivotal to drilling safe and fit-for-purpose boreholes that lead to sustainable operations in the well lifecycle. Accordingly, a 1D mechanical earth model (MEM) plays a crucial role in guiding the exploration to production lifecycle with applications ranging from mud-weight optimization to hydraulic fracture designing. While numerous other petrophysical logs are critical inputs to the MEM, sonic compressional (P) and shear (S) slowness play a direct role in model build… Show more
