geomecon GmbH is a private consultancy based in Berlin, Germany, specializing in providing specific geomechanical solutions for complex challenges across various industries. The company serves the geothermal, mineral extraction, hydrocarbon, radioactive waste disposal, and rock engineering sectors by applying a multi-disciplinary testing and consulting approach. This approach integrates sound fracture mechanics principles with empirically derived relationships to deliver robust analyses and predictions.

The core services offered by geomecon encompass a wide array of critical geomechanical areas. These include precise stress field determination, comprehensive wellbore stability analyses crucial for minimizing drilling downtime, and meticulous mud window planning. Furthermore, geomecon excels in structural geology modeling, optimizing hydraulic fracture networks, and assessing hydraulic fracturing integrity. The company also provides in-depth reservoir geomechanics studies to ensure the long-term viability and safety of geological projects, alongside specialized services for induced seismicity investigations and the assessment of thermal potentials for efficient heat pump operations.

In addition to its consulting services, geomecon is actively involved in research and development, particularly in constitutive fracture mechanics model development and the creation of advanced fracture mechanics codes based on the latest XFEM techniques. A significant proprietary offering is roxol, a sophisticated simulator for fracture networks. roxol models the development of fracture networks using targeted application of fracture mechanical principles, ensuring that input parameters have physical meaning and can be determined in the laboratory. This software facilitates semi-coupled hydro-fracture mechanical (HFM) simulations, handles predefined and statistically generated fracture networks, and models fracture initiation, propagation, and coalescence under various static and sequential boundary conditions.
