Stress and pressure act upon every resrvoir, wellbore and completion. Drilling, production and injection processes modify these stresses and pressures, sometimes to the operator's detriment. Through advances in geomechanical measurements, modeling and monigoring, E&P companies are now able to predict and mitigate the effects of stress and pressure as they change throughout the life of their fields-from appraisal to abandonment.
