Fluid injection or production in petroleum reservoirs affects the reservoir stresses such that it
can even sometime reactivate dormant faults in the vicinity. In the particular case of deep …

Buzios Field, a pre-salt reservoir located approximately 180 km away from Rio de Janeiro
coast, in Santos Basin, is characterized by its great dimensions: Its extensions involve an …

This work addresses the problem of pressure equilibration across a seemingly sealing fault,
which has been observed during reservoir production. Considering the detrimental industrial …

Reservoir geomechanical studies support important decision makings, as operational
security limits and production optimization, bringing value to the petroleum company that …

During fluid production in carbonate reservoir rock under high Pressure and Temperature
conditions, the production-enhanced shear-heating of a creeping fault can lead to a thermal …

Fluid production is known to induce stress changes in the reservoir that can be large enough
to reactivate nearby dormant faults. Interestingly, following the reactivation of a fault, fluid …

Oil reservoirs are usually consist of hydrocarbons (oil and gas) and bottom water. The
natural depletion of the reservoir occurs by the natural energy of the reservoir. Reservoirs …

In recent past, most of Brazil's oil production was generated from siliciclastic reservoirs in
scenarios of deep and ultra-deep water of the Campos Basin, being much effort focused on …
