Salt Basins Geomechanics Exploration Risks : The Good, Bad and Ugly

Live session is scheduled on 5th February at 6pm Dubai time. 

This technical webinar explores the role of geopressure and geomechanics in hydrocarbon trapping, with a strong focus on clastic sediments and salt-related systems. Participants will gain insight into how subsurface pressure builds up, how salt emplacement alters the stress and pressure regime, and why these processes introduce significant exploration and drilling risks.

Through selected case histories of lucrative yet challenging wildcat wells, the webinar highlights key lessons learned from high-risk environments, helping engineers and geoscientists better recognize hazards, reduce uncertainty, and improve decision-making during exploration and well planning
