The self-contained Petrel Reservoir Geomechanics software allows 3D and 4D modeling of rock stresses and deformations in a reservoir and its surrounding over-, under-, and side-burdens.
By combining the powerful functionality of the VISAGE simulator with the Petrel platform, the Petrel Reservoir Geomechanics software brings geomechanics inside the range of seismic-to-simulation workflows already existing within the Petrel platform.
Petrel Reservoir Geomechanics software comprises two components:
• The VISAGE finite element geomechanics simulator, to perform the numerical stress and displacement computations for intact, faulted, and naturally fractured rock
• A Petrel module for the model creation, property population, preprocessing, simulation-launch, and run management, as well as further post-processing, including results checking and visualization
