Session 2: Case Studies on Geomechanical Challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean
25 May 2027
Session Chairs: Luis Carlos de Souza Junior, Petrobras; Thiago Oliveira, Shell
Geomechanical uncertainty remains a key factor influencing drilling performance and well integrity. This session will present case studies involving wellbore stability, pore pressure prediction, lost circulation, fault-related challenges, stress characterization, and reservoir deformation. Experts will discuss how geomechanical understanding contributed to risk mitigation and improved outcomes in different geological settings throughout the region.
