Abstract: A dissipation equilibrium value for a well operation may be determined based on a height of a fracture within a layer and a limit on the change of the height of the fracture (fracture height change limit). A pressure limit for the well operation may be determined based on the dissipation equilibrium value, stress in the layer, and stress in a bounding layer. The pressure limit may be used to control the pressure of the well during the well operation, and prevent growth of the fracture beyond the fracture height change limit.

Abstract: Embodiments of evaluating production performance for a wellbore while accounting for subterranean reservoir geomechanics and wellbore completion are provided. One embodiment includes generating the wellbore model; defining geomechanical properties for the subterranean reservoir in the near wellbore region and the far field region, and completion variables for the wellbore completion; and simulating fluid flow in the near wellbore region, the far field region, and the wellbore completion to evaluate production performance for the wellbore over a period of time. A permeability of the subterranean reservoir and a contact area between the wellbore and the subterranean reservoir are updated during simulation over the period of time.
