Abstract: Geomechanical parameters can be used to optimize a well configuration that includes one or more projected wells having locations and geometries. Formation data and regional stress information of a formation can be used to determine a local stress variation of the formation. A quality index can be generated by combining petrophysical properties with the local stress variation. Hydrocarbon recovery flow simulations can be generated by generating well configuration models based on the quality index, generating reservoir geomechanical model that includes hydraulic fracture propagation characteristics, determining new hydraulic fractures by simulating propagation through the reservoir geomechanical model and using geomechanical rules, and determining a projected hydrocarbon recovery rate by simulating flow with the new hydraulic fractures. A well placement plan can be selected using the projected hydrocarbon recovery rates. The well placement plan can be output to be used to plan one or more wellbores.

Abstract: A unified geological data representation is generated based on multiple disconnected geological data representations and provided to a computing device. The unified geological data representation is generated based on combining respective grid structures for each disconnected geological data representation. The unified geological data representation is processed by the computing device to generate multiple output collections of geological realization data, each output collection corresponding to a respective one of the disconnected geological data representations. One or more respective virtual models are generated for representation of the generated output collections of geological realization data, and provided for display.
