Abstract
Geomechanical modeling with regard to well construction process acts as a service and solves a set of issues related to the rock mechanics. Such tasks can be, for example, ensuring the borehole stability, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, forecasting sand production, or reducing the risk of lost circulation and kick events. The process of a geomechanical model development implies the processing of a large amount of data, such as well logs, core studies, LOTs and XLOTs, hydraulic fracturing events in offset wells, etc. The effectiveness of geomechanical modeling depends largely on the quantity and quality of the input data. In this behalf, it is required to formalize and quantify the key performance indicators (KPIs) of geomechanical modeling, which will further regulate this process.
