Rock Mechanics Theory and Application
Candidates:
Reservoir Geoscientists and engineers, drilling and completion engineers who are interested to know the role of rock mechanics in the E&P phases.
Summary:
This course is designed to provide the basic concepts of applying rock mechanics to perform laboratory demonstrations, hands-on exercises, computer modeling demonstrations that demonstrate geomechanical concepts. Applied rock mechanics is designed to familiarize engineers and geoscientists with the necessary tools for immediate field application.
