PanTerra constructs detailed 1D and 3D geomechanical models using well logs, core measurements, seismic data, regional data, and pressure tests. These models define in-situ stress regimes, pore pressure, rock mechanical properties, and mechanical stratigraphy, forming the foundation for all subsequent analyses including well design, sand production prediction, fracture modelling, and long-term reservoir integrity assessment.

PanTerra determines safe operating windows for mud weight, well trajectory, and drilling practices to prevent wellbore collapse, breakout, or tensile failure, whether for conventional oil/gas wells, high-temperature geothermal wells, or injection wells for CCS and underground storage. Our analyses minimise stuck pipe issues, lost circulation, and non-productive time across energy sectors.

PanTerra quantifies reservoir compaction and associated surface subsidence caused by pressure depletion or thermal effects. Using laboratory-measured rock compressibility and coupled modelling, we forecast changes in permeability, well integrity, fault slip potential, and overburden stress evolution, enabling operators to protect wellbores, surface facilities, and long-term field performance that are critical for mature oil/gas fields, geothermal reservoir management, and pressure cycling in storage projects.

PanTerra evaluates the mechanical strength and sealing capacity of caprock under depletion, injection, or thermally induced stress changes. Through fracture gradient analysis, stress path evaluation, and failure criterion assessment, we determine whether the seal will remain intact or risk breaching - critical for safe production, CO₂ storage, underground gas or hydrogen containment, and geothermal fluid circulation.

PanTerra assesses the risk of fault reactivation and induced seismicity during reservoir depletion, fluid injection, hydraulic stimulation, or thermal operations. By combining poro-elastic and thermo-elastic stress modelling, fault plane analysis, and Coulomb failure criteria, we quantify slip potential and provide practical mitigation strategies to manage seismic hazards and maintain regulatory compliance.

PanTerra models fracture initiation, propagation, height containment, and near-wellbore complexity using geomechanical properties, stress contrasts, and fluid pressures. Our analyses help optimise pump schedules, proppant placement, and stage spacing to maximise stimulated reservoir volume, improve recovery rates in tight oil/gas formations and augment heat extraction in enhanced geothermal systems, as well as minimising unwanted fracture growth into non-target zones.

PanTerra predicts sand failure conditions and critical drawdown limits using rock strength, in-situ stresses, and perforation geometry. We then provide practical sand management solutions, including selective perforating, screens, drawdown constraints, or completion design, to protect well integrity and productivity in clastic reservoirs across oil/gas and geothermal projects.

PanTerra runs fully coupled 3D simulations that simultaneously solve fluid flow, pressure and temperature changes, rock deformation, and stress evolution. This integrated approach delivers accurate long-term predictions of compaction, subsidence, permeability alteration, fault behaviour, and well integrity for oil and gas fields, geothermal reservoirs, and CCS or storage operations.

We provide specialist geomechanical support for carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen, or natural gas storage projects. Our analyses cover caprock integrity, fault stability, maximum pressure limits, induced seismicity risk, thermal effects (where relevant), and long-term containment security, ensuring safe, regulatory-compliant, and economically viable underground storage operations.
