Subscribe View Sample Lesson 3:33 hours

Construction of Mechanical Earth Models (MEMs) is essential for understanding subsurface mechanical behavior. They characterize reservoirs, model geomechanical responses, analyze wellbore stability, and optimize hydraulic fracturing. MEMs assess fault mechanics and enhance reservoir management decisions, facilitating informed choices in hydrocarbon exploration, production, and geomechanical analysis.Read more...
