This interdisciplinary book encompasses the fields of rock
mechanics, structural geology and petroleum engineering to address
a wide range of geomechanical problems that arise during the
exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs. It considers key practical
issues such as prediction of pore pressure, estimation of
hydrocarbon column heights and fault seal potential, determination
of optimally stable well trajectories, casing set points and mud
weights, changes in reservoir performance during depletion, and
production-induced faulting and subsidence. The book establishes
the basic principles involved before introducing practical
measurement and experimental techniques to improve recovery and
reduce exploitation costs. It illustrates their successful
application through case studies taken from oil and gas fields
around the world. This book is a practical reference for
geoscientists and engineers in the petroleum and geothermal
industries, and for research scientists interested in stress
measurements and their application to problems of faulting and
fluid flow in the crust.
