Understanding of field mechanical stratigraphy in terms of formation behavior due to coupled interaction between formation pressure depletion and state of stresses is crucial to achieving successful field development. These provide technical advantages of having a solid foundation for implementation in advanced well construction and completion strategy, especially in light of emerging and challenging plays related to unconventional reservoirs. This paper describes full-field interaction between formation behavior in 4D Geomechanical analysis of Kerendan Field located in Upper Kutai Basin, Central Kalimantan area on gas-condensate production from massive carbonate tight gas reservoir. Integrated 1D/3D/4D geomechanics study workflow result has enabled characterization of each mechanical stratigraphy unit, as follows: The overburden section is comprised of Miocene deltaic clastic succession which is characterized as “soft formation” with low stiffness (Static Young’s Modulus of 0.5 to 1.8 Mpsi) and low - medium rock strength (UCS of 800 to 2000 psi); Reservoir section comprised of Oligocene tight carbonates platform which characterized as “hard formation” with medium stiffness (Static Young’s Modulus of 3.0 to 4.5 Mpsi) and medium rock strength (UCS of 5000 to 6900 psi); Underburden section comprised of Eocene mixed-carbonate clastic succession and Pre-Tertiary metasediments which characterized as “very hard formation” with high stiffness (Static Young’s Modulus of 4.5 to 5.0 Mpsi) and medium rock strength (UCS of 6500 to 7900 psi). The Kerendan field would require implementation of special drilling and stimulation techniques in order to achieve optimum full field development potential owing to its reservoir characteristics. The field’s exhibit a large areal extent and massive tight limestone reservoir with relatively high Young’s Modulus, which is favorable for the utilization of extended reach drill (ERD) / horizontal wells followed with multi-stage acid fracturing stimulation. 3D/4D Geomechanical analysis is essential to assess the drillability and engineering limits of various development scenarios which will be strongly controlled by geomechanical fabric, pre-existing deformation/local discontinuities, prevailing principal stress tensor and stress changes during field production.

In Malaysia, especially Borneo Island Sarawak has a large scale of tropical wood species. In this study, selected raw tropical wood species namely Artocarpus Elasticus, Artocarpus Rigidus, Xylopia Spp, Koompassia Malaccensis and Eugenia Spp were chemically treated with sodium meta periodate to convert them into wood polymer composites. Manufactured wood polymer composites were characterized using mechanical testing (modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), static Young’s modulus) and decay resistance test. Modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture were calculated using three point bending test. Static Young’s modulus and decay resistance were calculated using compression parallel to gain test and natural laboratory decay test respectively. The manufactured wood polymer composites yielded higher modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture and static Young’s modulus. Wood polymer composite had high resistant to decay exposure, while Eugenia Spp wood polymer composite had highly resistant compared to the other ones.

The influence of grain shape and crystallographic orientation on the global and local elastic and plastic behaviour of strongly textured materials is investigated with the help of full-field simulations based on texture data from electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurements. To this end, eight different microstructures are generated from experimental data of a high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel processed by linear flow splitting. It is shown that the most significant factor on the global elastic stress–strain response (i.e., Young’s modulus) is the crystallographic texture. Therefore, simple texture-based models and an analytic expression based on the geometric mean to determine the orientation dependent Young’s modulus are able to give accurate predictions. In contrast, with regards to the plastic anisotropy (i.e., yield stress), simple analytic approaches based on the calculation of the Taylor factor, yield different results than full-field microstructure simulations. Moreover, in the case of full-field models, the selected microstructure representation influences the outcome of the simulations. In addition, the full-field simulations, allow to investigate the micro-mechanical fields, which are not readily available from the analytic expressions. As the stress–strain partitioning visible from these fields is the underlying reason for the observed macroscopic behaviour, studying them makes it possible to evaluate the microstructure representations with respect to their capabilities of reproducing experimental results.

Prediction of the mechanical characteristics of the reservoir formations, such as static Young’s modulus (Estatic), is very important for the evaluation of the wellbore stability and development of the earth geomechanical model. Estatic considerably varies with the change in the lithology. Therefore, a robust model for Estatic prediction is needed. In this study, the predictability of Estatic for sandstone formation using four machine learning models was evaluated. The design parameters of the machine learning models were optimized to improve their predictability. The machine learning models were trained to estimate Estatic based on bulk formation density, compressional transit time, and shear transit time. The machine learning models were trained and tested using 592 well log data points and their corresponding core-derived Estatic values collected from one sandstone formation in well-A and then validated on 38 data points collected from a sandstone formation in well-B. Among the machine learning models developed in this work, Mamdani fuzzy interference system was the highly accurate model to predict Estatic for the validation data with an average absolute percentage error of only 1.56% and R of 0.999. The developed static Young’s modulus prediction models could help the new generation to characterize the formation rock with less cost and safe operation.

Abstract Young's modulus and shear modulus were simultaneously obtained in a three-point bending test based on Timoshenko's bending theory. Deflection curves of a bent beam were measured by image analysis, and the mechanical properties of the wood were calculated by polynomial regression analysis after excluding the singular region. When beam specimens of spruce (Picea sp.) and mizunara (Quercus crispula) wood were tested, static Young's modulus (E s) and static shear modulus (G s) values could be obtained from the deflection curve using finite element analysis. By comparing the dynamic properties (E d and G d) obtained by a flexural vibration test, it was estimated that E s was greater than E d, while G s was less than G d. However, we suppose that the G s values calculated from the deflection curve are more plausible than those obtained from a conventional bending test.
