Geomechanica is looking forward to presenting its latest research findings at GeoConvention 2015: GeoScience – New Horizons , which will be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, from May 4 to 8, 2015.

The complete conference technical program can be found here . The topics of our oral and poster presentations deal with the numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing and thermal-related wellbore instabilities. The specific titles include:

• Numerical investigation of the influences of rock fabrics on hydraulic fracturing operations (poster )
• Numerical studies of the spatial and temporal distributions of seismic events under different confining conditions (poster )
• Fully 3D simulation of fluid-pressure-driven fracturing using a novel continuum-discontinuum approach: Preliminary results
• FDEM modelling of thermal wellbore instabilities within shale formations (poster )
