One of the main research objects of petroleum engineering is deep formation rock. The deformation and strength of rock are the basis for studying drilling engineering, completion engineering, oil and gas reservoir stimulation, reservoir deformation, and casing deformation, etc. As the development of unconventional oil and gas resources continues to increase and the exploration and development environment continues to become more complex, people pay more and more attention to rock mechanics. The teaching goal of rock mechanics in petroleum engineering course is to enable students to master the basic concepts of rock physics, mechanical properties, pore elasticity, in-situ stress, rock constitutive relationship and strength. Then the course enables students to master the testing and determination methods of important parameters. Finally, the course enables students to deepen and strengthen understanding of engineering problems through combining basic concepts, models, engineering examples and technologies in terms of petroleum engineering problems related to rock mechanics.
