Course title:	Geomechanics in tectonics
Name in Polish:	Geomechanika w tektonice

ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	1.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Mode:	Classroom
Short description:	The aim of the course is to broaden knowledge in the field of geomechanics in terms of tectonic processes, especially in the aspect of reservoir rock characteristics.
Full description:	Basic principles about the tectonic stress field including stress in the earth's crust, relative stress magnitudes, Anderson’s classification scheme, stress magnitudes at depth, measuring in situ stress (overcoring, breakouts, hydraulic fracturing/leak-off tests), in the laboratory (strength, ultrasonic tests) as well geologic stress indicators. Reservoir geomechanics: -calculating overburden stress and porosity from density logs -estimating the magnitude and the onset of overpressure -estimating rock strenght from geophysical logs -constraining stress magnitudes (stress polygon) from wellbore failure observations

Learning outcomes:	After completing the course the student: - understands the complex processes occurring in the rock mass; - has knowledge of stresses in the earth's crust, can give relative magnitudes of stresses depending on the prevailing tectonic regime (according to Anderson's classification); - has knowledge of the possibilities and research methods of geological stress assessment; - can prepare the data necessary to perform geophysical interpretations of reservoir rocks; - can calculate geomechanical parameters from geophysical data; is able to solve basic problems related to geological and geophysical drilling services; - is able to interpret and correlate selected parameters related to geomechanics of reservoir rocks combined with observations of borehole damage
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	The pass is based on tasks performed during computer classes and an exam in the form of an own project made on a computer. One absence is allowed.
