LithoStudio software has a complete set of utilities that allow to properly prepare various data before geomechanical modeling:
Data Analysis
- Logging dats merging, matching, smoothing
- Petrophysical rock characteristics calculation
- Logging data synthesis with using of the most extended methods (Gardner-Castagna's, Han's, Faust's, Zalyaev's)
- Convertation of wave velocities data to slowness and backwards
- The scripts are based on C# machine language. The script allows to create own wizards in Project with using constants, arrays, rules, etc.
- Well sections for displaying of logging data, well testing data, casing, stratigraphy and lithology column.
To visualize all data types in LithoStudio are used:
- Cross-plots for constructing various dependency graphs (as types as Core-Core, Core-Log, etc.), obtaining trend lines and correlation coefficients
- Multiwell correlations for selection of stratigraphy, lithology, geomechanical boundaries and picking on the polygon

1D-Geomecanhics Model
LithoStudio allows to obtain the following results in the simulation:
- Stress profiles (overburden pressure, pore pressure, fracture pressure, breakdown pressure)
- Dependence charts between dynamic and static elastic properties, profiles of static properties along a cross-section taking into account different lithological / stratigraphic intervals
- Dynamic elastic properties (Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio)

Wellbore Stability Model
Overburden & Pore Pressure
- Mohr envelope — determination of the most optimal rock failure criterion based on laboratory core tests
- Kirsch analysis — 2D analysis of stress distribution in near-wellbore space
- Sensitivity analysis — tornado diagram and spider chart construction to identify the degree of influence of the initial parameters to the end result
- ECD — calculation of equivalent circulating density
- Stress polygon — tools for estimating the limits of the maximum stress uncertainty
The most popular modules of geomechanical modeling are:
- Pressure analysis — identification of AHRP zones, circulation losses, losses
- Breackout analysis — search for instability zones, fallouts, breackouts during drilling and reaming
- Stereonets — mud density correction taking into account stress distribution around the barrel
- Risk map — assessment of geological and technological risks in the process of well construction
- Sand production analysis — assessment of maximum allowable drawdowns and working bottomhole pressures to prevent solids production
Taking into account drilling problems, it allows to assess the origin of geological risks and correct the geomechanical model.
Geological Risks Analysis
Modeling in LithoStudio allows to minimize the possible risks associated with:
- Wellbore instability
- Determining the depths of landing shoes casing columns
- The ES on the site (oil and gas showing, blow out, sticking, collapsing, etc.)
Mechanical Properties Calibration on Core Study Results
For the convenient calculation of the input parameters for geomechanical models, the most popular empirical correlations for evaluation of the elastic and strength parameters have been built in LithoStudio, which allow 1D geomechanical model to be quickly built and calibrated.
Dynamic parameters calibration in the wells with static ones performed in the laboratory is integrated into the software complex.
