Deterministic Earth Mechanical Science

Deterministic Earth Mechanical Science is a landmark advancement in the natural sciences. It has extreme practical importance to subsurface engineering as well. All mechanical systems tend to progress from higher to lower energy. Three deterministic local mechanical energy minima have been found that correspond to the earth's three tectonic regimes. A specific equation matrix defines the minimum energy state for each of the earth's three tectonic regimes. All three matrices conserve [mass-energy] and [stress/strain]explicitly. Subsurface engineers can use these matrices to quantify risks and rewards of any particular mechanical decision that is being considered. Errors in drilling decisions costs that industry about one billion dollars a year. Deterministic earth mechanical science instead of forced-fit empiricism could cut drilling errors in half. The prediction of reservoir production could also be improved significantly.
