Fully coupled poro-mechanical basin models for pressure and effective stress prediction, with application to a mini-basin in voluminous salt

Integrating Petrophysical, Geological and Geomechanical Modelling to Assess Stress States, Overpressure Development and Compartmentalisation Adjacent to a Salt Wall, Gulf of Mexico

“…This technique has been used to investigate the controls on the development of geological structures (Crook et al, 2006;Vidal-Royo et al, 2011;Albertz and Lingrey, 2012;Thornton and Crook, 2014;Roberts et al, 2015;Ruh, 2017), and the impact of the evolutionary deformation structures in the stress-strain and pore pressure fields (Albertz and Sanz, 2012;Smart et al, 2012;Obradors-Prats et al, 2016, 2017b. It also facilitates a better understanding of stress fields and pore pressures in systems influenced by salt tectonics (Nikolinakou et al, 2014(Nikolinakou et al, , 2018Heidari et al, 2016Heidari et al, , 2021Luo et al, 2017;Lovely et al, 2018).…”
