... and the faults were simulated through different scenarios. Results of the simulations were also translated into induced seismicity during CO 2 injection and ground deformation (compaction/subsidence). The work performed enabled to define the maximum injection pressure for CO 2 injectors considering the entire...

...-geomechanical model. Disparate CO2 injection scenarios were explored and the effect on caprock integrity, overburden & surface subsidence were observed. The geomechanical impact on the notional storage capacity were then derived. The results of the dynamic flow simulations showed the evaluation of notional...

... Abstract Some of the oil and gas fields in the in Middle East are prone to a shallow sand subsidence while drilling conductor and surface sections, which may result in the in cellar and surrounding area to subside. In the worst case scenario, it may lead to a well abandonment. This issue...

... for reservoir compaction and predicting field subsidence. This paper takes the work reported in Noufal et al. (2020) one step further by integrating the results of a comprehensive geomechanical laboratory characterization study designed to assess the potential geomechanical changes in the stacked reservoirs...

... of different modelled processes and controls is used to assess the model robustness. For example, the interplay between subsidence and carbonate production as the main controlling parameters for mean thickness and volume of potential reservoir units can be quantified. The use of a global palaeo-environmental...

... Abstract The Middle to Late Cretaceous Natih formation in Oman can be highly compressible and undergo large compaction during depletion. Significant reservoir compaction and surface subsidence has potential risks for fault reactivation, integrity of wells and surface facilities. Petroleum...

.... Depletion in the shallow gas reservoir, which exhibits pore collapsing response on depletion, has induced surface subsidence which is active and expected to reach about 2.4 m at the end of field life. Subsurface deformations and induced stress changes have resulted in subset of the faults (NE/SW...

Furthermore it tackles perplexities related to the link between subsidence amounts/rates (backstripping), and extension, strain distribution, and episodes/pulses/unconformities. It describes the increase...

... activity rate production scenario Magnitude Groningen gas field prediction subsidence fault surface Introduction Hydrocarbon production can result in reservoir pore pressure changes that, in turn, lead to subsurface stress changes and deformations. These stresses and deformations can manifest...

The oldest rocks in the Arabian Peninsula are coarse clastic sediments of Cambrian-Lower Ordovician age. These rocks are overlain by the Tabuk Formation (Middle Ordovician - Lower...

The backstripping technique uses stratigraphic data extracted from the wells and quantitatively determines the depth that basement would be in the absence of water and sediment loading. As a result, the tectonically-driven subsidence data allows us to determine...

Results of the above analyses demonstrate that the Arabian Platform has a long growth history, beginning as early as Pre-Cambrian time, and continuing through the Middle to Early Tertiary Reservoir...
