Field Development and Production Optimization Integrating Reservoir Compaction, Sand Production and Wellbore Stability Modeling: A Field Case Study

Some technical uncertainties during the planning phase of field development can be identified and properly addressed with the<br>aid of a suitable geomechanical analysis. Uncertainties includes unrealistic mud-weight drilling windows (with NPT related to<br>WBS), pressure drawdown uncertainties related to sand production with wrong selection of wells and perforations orientations<br>and uncertainties in subsidence and production loss as a result of reservoir compaction. Operators have been faced with some<br>of the above concerns during the development of a field.
