The early pioneers of rock mechanics used techniques developed in mechanical engineering to try to understand the behaviour of rock in engineered structures. geoscience.co.uk/post/what-i…

What is Oilfield Geomechanics?

Rock mechanics is a field of geomechanics that studies how rocks behave when they are drilled, excavated, or are affected by other engineering activities. It deals with rock strengths, stresses,...

One of our most popular blogs is on the challenges of drilling through fractured & faulted formations and how it may be inevitable to achieve well objectives. Find out how we have helped clients overcome these challenges for successful production: geoscience.co.uk/post/the-ch…

The challenges and rewards of faulted and fractured formations

Drilling problems associated with faults may vary from minor erratic torque up to severe overpull and stuck bottom hole assemblies.

We worked with @Cenergist & @BritGeoSurvey on the design of the two closed-loop GSHP borehole arrays for these installations at Keyworth. The arrays have been designed to deliver long-term sustainable ambient energy from the ground, whilst minimising parasitic pumping energy.
