Integrated analysis of stress stratigraphy and hydraulic fracture propagation : connecting numerical models, laboratory experiments and field studies
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The unifying theme of this thesis is that an understanding of the stress variations in the earth's crust and geomechanical modeling are essential for optimization and safe execution of underground fluid injection operations. This thesis integrates field studies, laboratory experiments and numerical modeling to (a) understand how the stress in the earth's crust varies with depth and (b) understand how stress influences injection induced fault slip and hydraulic fracture propagation. This integrated analysis is presented in the context of unconventional oil & gas production, stimulation of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), underground CO2 storage and induced seismicity applications
