Rock Mechanics

MINIMIZE RISK AND IMPROVE EFFECIENCIES

Rock Mechanics data is fundamental to reservoir characterization and optimization. From exploration and well planning through abandonment, a thorough and relevant understanding of the reservoir environment allows Operators the opportunity to make beneficial decisions to minimize risk while enhancing economic and operational productivity.

The professionals at Premier have decades of experience in Rock Mechanics testing, analysis and application. Rock Mechanics can be used as stand-alone data, or within our comprehensive process combining other results from Routine and Special Core Analysis, XRF, XRD, reservoir modeling, petrophysical and existing well log data to build extremely robust and predictive geomechanical models.
