Geomechanics (Earth sciences 🌍)

Geomechanics is the study of the mechanical state of the Earth's crust and the processes occurring in it under the influence of natural physical factors. It involves the study of the mechanics of soil and rock.

Remember tomorrows deadline for EGU abstract submission! It's 13:00 CEST. No late night submissions possible.
On the same note I want to remind you to submit your #geomechanics abstracts to our session TS 1.2. Geomechanics – Understanding, modelling and remaining uncertainties https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/46172

Are you in #Geomechanics and planning to go to @EuroGeosciences '23 in Vienna? Consider submitting an abstract to our session. @Mojtaba & Karsten Reiter

Simulating pressure during seal failure with CO2 injection in #GEM. #geomechanics #reservoirEngineering

In practice, we avoid busting seals by determining the fracture pressure of the reservoir and seal, then adjusting operating conditions to stay below 90% or so of that pressure as measured downhole. These numerical experiments are useful for examining "what if" leakage scenarios.
