... this study will be used as guidelines strategies for hydrocarbon exploration. The research will address the impact of the in-situ stress variations on petroleum systems, fault seal integrity evaluation, reservoir mapping, and heterogeneity. The study also provides an understanding of vertical and lateral...

... Abstract Effective geomechanical analysis requires a thorough understanding of the complexities of the formations drilled, such as stress-induced anisotropy, intrinsic anisotropy, azimuthal heterogeneity, drilling induced and natural fractures, and/or borehole damage. The identification...

... ABSTRACT: Rock is a typically heterogeneous material composed of inherent microstructures at the grain scale, which has a significant effect on the behavior of hydraulic fractures. This paper employs the grain-based DEM coupled with pore network model to capture the interaction behavior between...

... to accurately visualize the mechanical properties of rocks, in-situ stress, and pore pressure. The obtained results revealed that the 3D MEM showed a huge variance in the rock properties and field stresses, even within a small distance. This heterogeneity can be attributed to the carbonate depositional...

... conglomerate reservoirs. However, widely distributed gravels with various shapes, sizes, and mechanical properties in such reservoirs exhibit strong heterogeneities and make it difficult to accurately evaluate the rock mechanical properties, which consequently affects the efficacy of well planning...
