Reservoir Geomechanics by Mark D. Zoback encompasses the fields of rock mechanics, structural geology and petroleum engineering to address a wide range of geomechanical problems that come up during the exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs.
It is extremely complete and full book spanning all of the aspects of stress inside the accessible Earth. It is significantly useful in the fields of oil industry, geothermics and seismic hazard. It considers key practical issues reminiscent of prediction of pore strain, estimation of hydrocarbon column heights and fault seal potential, dedication of optimally stable properly trajectories, casing set points and dirt weights, changes in reservoir efficiency during depletion, and manufacturing-induced faulting and subsidence.
The book establishes the basic ideas concerned before introducing sensible measurement and experimental techniques to enhance recovery and scale back exploitation costs. It illustrates their profitable utility through case studies taken from oil and gas fields across the world.
This book is a practical reference for geoscientists and engineers within the petroleum and geothermal industries, and for research scientists involved in stress measurements and their software to issues of faulting and fluid flow within the crust. It addresses a variety of geomechanical problems that come up during the exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs.
