    This 10-week online course on reservoir geomechanics began in April 2019. It is taught by Professor Mark Zoback and has been offered previously to Stanford students. Over 10,000 people have completed the course to date. Participants can watch two video lectures each week and complete eight homework assignments on a flexible schedule. Those who correctly complete at least 70% of the assignments will receive a statement of accomplishment. Common questions are addressed on the online Piazza forum. The course follows Professor Zoback's textbook "Reservoir Geomechanics" and covers topics like stress fields, pore pressure, rock strength, wellbore stability, fault sealing, and induced seismicity through 20 video lectures and homework assignments.

    Reservoir Geomechanics Stanford Online

    Spring 2019

    Syllabus
    April 1 – June 5, 2019
    Professor Mark Zoback
    TA Noam Dvory
    [email protected]

    This course has been taught to Stanford student for a number of years and was filmed in
    2014. It was first available as a free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in the spring of 2014.
    To date, over 10,000 people have completed the course.

    Two lectures are released each week. Participants are free to watch the lectures at any
    convenient time as long as the homework assignments are completed on time. Those who
    correctly complete 70% of the 8 homework assignments will receive a statement of
    accomplishment on (date). The 8 homework assignments are due on the day indicated at 08:00
    AM UTC time, which is 12:00 AM (midnight) California time. There is a grace period allowing
    assignments to be handed in 24 hours after the due date.

    Because there are thousands of participants in the course, it is not feasible for us to
    answer questions or handle individual requests by email. We try to address the most common
    and pressing issues through Piazza, an online forum. We have been encouraged by how
    students help each other via the Piazza forum, and we urge you to both ask and contribute to
    the discussions.

    The course follows the text Reservoir Geomechanics, by Professor Mark Zoback,
    published by Cambridge University Press. It is available from:
