Резюме	Geomechanical modeling is the numerical simulation of stress and deformation in rock masses, integrating rock properties, pressure conditions, and geometric constraints. Rooted in classical mechanics (Coulomb, Mohr) but modernized by finite element and finite difference methods, this approach is essential for well integrity assessment, reservoir compaction prediction, and stability evaluation of slopes and excavations. Models link subsurface geology to rock mechanical behavior.	Basin subsidence analysis is the quantitative study of how sedimentary basins deepen over geological time, driven by tectonics, isostasy, and load. Formalized by McKenzie (1978) and Sclater and Christie (1980), this method reveals the mechanical causes of basin development, predicts subsurface temperature and pressure histories, and constrains petroleum generation. Analysis integrates well stratigraphy, seismic geometry, gravity data, and thermal models to reconstruct basin evolution.
