The Geomechanics Workspace in WellCAD brings rock mechanics analysis to life turning raw log and core data into actionable geomechanical insights.
With this powerful module, you can calculate and visualise key elastic and strength parameters — including Poisson’s ratio, Young’s modulus, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), Shear Modulus, Bulk Modulus, Tensile Strength, Biot Coefficient, Friction Angle and Cohesive Strength — directly within WellCAD. The workspace supports a wide range of empirical and theoretical models, letting you tailor your approach to specific lithologies such as sands and shales.
Whether you’re reconciling core measurements with log-derived properties or building continuous mechanical profiles, WellCAD makes the process intuitive and transparent. You can define zones, apply formation-specific equations, and instantly compare computed results with laboratory data. All within a single, interactive interface.
Advanced users can take full control using the Custom Equation Editor, creating and calibrating new correlations that match local field conditions. The entire workflow from data import to core-to-log calibration (if needed) and export. It is seamlessly integrated, ensuring consistent and reliable results ready for visualisation and reporting.
With WellCAD’s Geomechanics Workspace, understanding rock behaviour has never been easier. Transform your well data into high-confidence mechanical models and make better-informed decisions for drilling, completion, and reservoir management.
