The EAGE Technical Community on Geomechanics  is a network of members interested in sharing knowledge and developing skills among geoscientists and engineers working on, researching, or curious about advances, case studies, and emerging applications in geomechanics.
As the global energy landscape evolves, geomechanics is essential for optimizing hydrocarbon recovery, enabling geothermal energy, ensuring underground storage integrity, and supporting new energy technologies. This community brings together professionals across these topics to foster multidisciplinary exchange and collaboration.
