Laboratory of Geomechanics

Research Topics

• geomechanics of oil and gas wells;
• mechanics of oil and gas reservoirs, increase in oil recovery, safe drilling of oil and gas wells;
• modeling of stress-strain state and fracture of seams accounting for anisotropy of deformational and strength properties of rocks;
• modeling of nonlinear filtration of fluids accounting for dependence of soils permeability on stress state;
• physical modeling of deformation and fracture of rocks in the vicinity of oil and gas wells while various working regimes;
• theoretical and experimental investigations of laws of plastic deformation of rocks under complex triaxial loading;
• physical mechanics of surface regions of materials;
• experimental mechanics;
• mechanics of inhomogeneous media;
• mechanics of bodies with coating.

Keywords
