Claim One:
1. A method for analyzing subterranean formation, comprising: collecting raw data on the subterranean formation and storing the raw data in an electronic database; generating a coarse scaled rock model from the raw data by electronically processing the raw data; generating a coarse or fine scale petrophysical and geomechanical property model by electronically processing the scaled rock model; generating a multi-grid finite element simulation model of the subterranean formation from the coarse or fine scale petrophysical and geomechanical property model by electronically processing the coarse or fine scale petrophysical and geomechanical property model; and displaying the multi-grid finite element simulation model of the subterranean formation to a user, wherein electronically processing comprises using a microprocessor in communication with a memory containing software instructions configured to generate requested models.
