3D numerical simulation of heterogeneous in situ stress field in low-permeability reservoirs

Abstract Analysis of the in situ stress orientation and magnitude in the No. 4 Structure of Nanpu Sag was performed on the basis of data obtained from borehole breakout and acoustic emission measurements. On the basis of mechanical experiments, logging interpretation, and seismic data, a 3D geologic...
