To ensure safe and cost-effective drilling and hydraulic fracturing operations, knowledge of subsurface geomechanical characteristics is essential. Currently available methodologies for geomechanical modeling are heavily dependent on well logs, which are not always available in the quantity and quality required for geomechanics.

The drill bit is the first logging tool to touch the rock formation, generating a large volume of rich data. Using robust interpretation schemes, this data can be used to evaluate the geomechanical characteristics of the formations. TEVERRA’s DDG technology solves this problem. Its architecture processes complex drilling dynamics data and extracts valuable geomechanical characteristics. It enables high-resolution geomechanical modeling and wellbore stability analysis for the entire well length without requiring any logs. DDG has been successfully tested in several onshore and offshore locations around the world.

The tool can be used in two ways. It can identify wells that will achieve pre-determined financial requirements given the input data, or it can identify potential use case scenarios and then estimate the economic value of the different scenarios. This decreases evaluation time by combining expert analysis from multiple disciplines into one intuitive platform. Decreasing evaluation time produces faster and more cost-effective analysis.
