Geomechanics

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001676

The study of the mechanical behavior of rock and soil, including their response to stress, strain, and fluid pressure. In shale gas development, it involves analyzing rock properties to predict fracture initiation and propagation during hydraulic fracturing. This field uses data from core samples, well logs, and microseismic monitoring.
