In the southern region of Mexico, PEMEX along with Schlumberger-IPM is currently drilling deep wells into the  Mesozoic Era reaching depths between 6000 to 7000 meters. The challenge of drilling into these reservoirs lies in  the depositional environment, including the presence of salt domes, strong dipping layers, heavily faulted Tertiary formations and abnormal high pressures and temperatures...

The geological structures to drill and reach the producing reservoir of the South region of Mexico are very  complex. They can vary from deep fractured carbonates reservoir at more than 7000 m true vertical depth, anticline uplifted by salt or/and shale dome themselves inducing abnormal pressure up to 2.2 gr/cc of equivalent density in the overlying formation. The geological complexity of the south region....

Las carreteras son uno de los factores mas importantes para el desarrollo económico y social de un país; en México, constituyen la principal forma de comunicación. Los caminos y carreteras propician la creación de  cadenas productivas generadas por el trafico de mercancías e impulsan el comercio .....

Hydraulic fracturing is an important technique used to improve well productivity in tight reservoirs and enable

economic development. Geomechanical modeling is a prerequisite required to ensure effective fracture construction and the required contact with the formation. We show the first successful hydraulic fracturing in the Offshore Abu Dhabi clastic sand formations in which......
