RokDoc GeoMechanics Training Course


  • ikon Science 12140 Wickchester Lane Houston, TX, 77079 United States (map)

Monica Rasmussen (Ikon Science)

This course provides an introduction to RokDoc GeoMechanics and Image Logs functionality, as well as a brief introduction to PressureView.

This new course takes RokDoc users through the workflow and tools for 1D geomechanical modeling in RokDoc and show how to Build and calibrate a model in 1D, constrain in the Stress Polygon, cross-check predicted results with image logs, and build an offset well plan using RokDoc 2D.

Workflow 1 – Geomechanical Modelling in RokDoc

  • An introduction to the geomechanical workflow
  • Creating a RokDoc project

Workflow 2 – Workflow Editor

  • Building customisable workflows inside RokDoc

Workflow 3 – Data loading

  • Importing well logs, core and pressure measurements, and image logs

Workflow 4 – Viewing and utilising data

  • Well Viewer
  • MD to TVD conversions
  • Working intervals

Workflow 5 – Data QC and Conditioning

  • Log calculator
  • Rock physics model calibration and application
  • Cross-plot data QC

Workflow 6 – Image Logs

  • Display and calibration
  • Picking features on image logs

Workflow 7 – 1D Mechanical Stratigraphy

  • Elastic properties and rock strength
  • Fluid substitution
  • Dynamic/static correction
  • Rock property histograms

Workflow 8 – Pore pressure and stresses

  • Vertical stress and horizontal stresses
  • Pore pressure prediction

Workflow 9 – Model calibration

  • Collapse curve and tensile failure curve
  • Hoop stress and stress polygon plots for model parameterisation
  • User Programmer to calculate frictional limits
  • Model QC with available wells

Workflow 10 – RokDoc 2D and offset well extraction

  • RokDoc 2D
  • Extraction of data at planned well location

Workflow 11 – Model application

  • Fracture and breakout behaviour
  • Safe drilling window
  • Geomechanical plots

Optional workflows
