Director: Guillermo Alzate Espinosa
Research group that provides modern, simulation, production and stimulation tools for
conventional and non-conventional oil reservoirs.
Working lines : geomechanical of heavy oil reservoirs, in-situ stress determination and
mechanical earth model (MEM) construction, Sand production: prediction, quantification,
management and phenomena associated modeling, geomechanical in thermal
recovery, hydraulic fracturing in heavy oil reservoirs, numerical analysis of production
processes coupled with geomechanics, subsidence and compaction analysis, stress-
strain constitutive models in heavy oil reservoirs, caprock integrity, wellbore stability,
conventional reservoir geomechanics, etc.
Interdisciplinary workteam, formed by a bachelor, master, doctorate students and
proffesors in petroleum engineering.

7th INTERNATIONAL GEOMECHANICS SYMPOSIUM
Objective:
To promote an academic venue about actual geomechanic challenges in hydrocarbonexploitation and production, gathering a group of national and internationalspecialists and representatives of main oil Colombian companies, who will analyzegeomechanical application in exploration, characterization and exploitation of heavyoil reservoirs and the most pressing academic and technological issues that must beresolved about this topic.
