Geomechanics plays a central role in minerals and energy resources engineering. Our integrated approach combines laboratory tests, numerical modelling, and field measurements to analyse rock mass behaviour and ground support optimising design and safety during Geostorage and resource extraction. Geomechanics required in recovering various resources drives the need for coupled thermal, hydro, chemical, and mechanical modelling of multiscale systems. Our experts are working on unique physics-based approaches with the integration of data-driven algorithms to guide industry decisions, optimise recovery, ensure safety, and drive innovative approaches for asset management.
Applications include gas drainage, CO2 Geostorage, mining impact on groundwater, basin dynamics and exploration studies, in-situ stress estimation, fracture propagation and activation, ground subsidence, and recovery of unconventional resources.
