GEOMECHANICS 28 March – 1 April 2016 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

About this training course This five-day course provides an intermediate level of understanding of the

geomechanical factors that affect wellbore instability, sand production and

hydraulic fracture design. The course is structured such that upon

completion, participants will have understood the value that geomechanics

can bring to drilling, completion and production operations and will be able

to leverage this value wherever it applies. The course emphasis will be on

integrating the topics presented through a combination of lectures, case-

studies and hands-on exercises. A special focus will be on how geomechanics

knowledge is extracted from routinely acquired well data and how it is

applied in the prediction and prevention of formation instability.

Course Highlights The course is essentially non-mathematical and makes wide use of diagrams, pictures and exercises to illustrate the essential concepts of geomechanics: Essential Rock Mechanics Principles

Wellbore Stability Analysis

Anisotropic Rock Properties for unconventional projects

Lost Circulation and Wellbore Strengthening applications

Sand Production Management

Input to Hydraulic Fracture design

Salt instability

By attending this training, you will be able to acquire the following: Apply the basic concepts of geomechanics to identify, predict and mitigate

against formation instability during drilling, completion and production

Who Should Attend? This course is intended for Drilling Engineers, Well Engineers, Production

Technologists, Completion Engineers, Well Superintendents, Directional

Drillers, Wellsite Supervisors and others, who wish to further their

understanding of rock mechanics and its application to drilling and

completion.

Attendees are requested to have been exposed to drilling, completions and

production operations in their positions and to have a recommended

minimum of 3 years of field experience.

About your Expert Trainer: Ken Russell Ken Russell is an operational

geomechanics advisor with

over 40 years of experience in

exploration, development and production

in the upstream oil and gas industry. After

obtaining a BSc (Hons) Physics degree

from Aberdeen University, Ken worked for

a variety of oil service companies in

wireline operations, management and

formation evaluation, before joining

Schlumberger in 1995. Since 2000 he has

worked principally in real-time

geomechanics operations and developing

acousto-geomechical applications, taking

on the role of geomechanics advisor and

technical manager within the Europe-

Africa area of operations. Before forming

his own company in 2014, Ken was one of

Schlumberger’s principal instructors,

delivering cross-discipline internal and

external geomechanics training to

petrophysicists, geologists, reservoir,

petroleum, well construction and drilling

engineers at operating company

locations, training centers and operational

centers worldwide. Through extensive

operational and wellsite experience

gained in the North Sea, Europe, Africa,

South America and the Far East, he has

gained a broad based knowledge of

drilling, production, log data acquisition,

analysis and interpretation that has

allowed him to develop and deliver

pragmatic solutions to the geomechanical

challenges of drilling, sand production,

fracturing and unconventional reservoirs,

faced by operators.

His principal interests include the

development and application of acousto-

geomechanical techniques for the

evaluation of anisotropic formations and

fracture systems and the identification

and prevention of wellbore instability.
