Geomechanics for Energy: Current and Emerging Applications

Explore the critical role of geomechanics in subsurface projects through this comprehensive lecture by Dr. Ewerton Araujo. Begin with a historical overview of the geomechanics discipline and its various applications in subsurface projects. Delve into two major case studies: one addressing a persistent, common problem, and another focusing on a recent trend. Gain insights into the vital importance of geomechanics in project planning and execution, and understand the potential consequences of overlooking associated risks, including environmental impacts, operational inefficiencies, and increased costs in maintenance and remediation.
