Geomechanics in Depleted Faulted Reservoirs

This paper examines the impact of the effective stresses that develop during depletion of a faulted reservoir. The study is based on finite element modeling using 2D plane strain deformation analysis with pore pressure and elastoplastic deformation of the reservoir and sealing shale layers governed...
