ENHANCED CAPROCK INTEGRITY INTEGRATION FOR SUBSURFACE INJECTION OPERATIONS

Abstract:

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for recovering hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation. In one implementation, at least one drilling operation is executed at the subterranean formation according to at least one drilling parameter. High resolution geomechanical data is continuously captured in-situ during a duration of the at least one drilling operation. A geomechanical model of the subterranean formation is dynamically recalibrated as the high resolution geomechanical data is continuously captured during the at least one drilling operation. An integrity of caprock at the subterranean formation is determined based on the geomechanical model. The at least one drilling parameter is dynamically adjusted based on the integrity of caprock at the subterranean formation.
