There are several case studies showing that water injection apparently induces fault
reactivation in oil and gas fields. However, there are not many publications in literature …

Aiming to increase hydrocarbon production, the oil industry has developed recovery
methods whose purpose is to get more production. Thus, several problems may be …

Fault reactivation induced by excessive reservoir water pressure in oil fields is suspected as
one of the possible perpetrators that caused crude oil eruption to the surface. This can lead …

This work shows the methodology for the analysis of fault reactivation in terms of reservoir
depletion and/or reservoir pressurization. During reservoir depletion, the normal effective …

The hydraulic behavior of faults during production is a key issue in reservoir management.
The correct assessment of dynamic fault hydraulic behavior can optimize the number of …

Most of the theory developed to date concerning pressure buildup in wells located near
reservoir pressure buildup in wells located near reservoir discontinuities assumes that …

In any depleting reservoir in which the vertical stress is larger than the two horizontal
stresses, there is the potential to induce normal faulting when the change of horizontal …

This paper investigates fault reactivation tendency within and surrounding reservoirs during
fluid injection or production. Induced stress analysis is performed using Eshelby's theory of …

It is well known that depleting a hydrocarbon reservoir can redistribute the in-situ stresses
sufficiently to reactivate and induce slip in nearby faults, which otherwise usually evolve over …

Proper modeling of water injection projects in undeveloped deepwater reservoirs is
important not only from a recovery factor point of view, but also for environmental protection …
