A workflow for building and calibrating 3-D geomechanical models &ndash a case study for a gas reservoir in the North German Basin

The optimal use of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs depends, amongst other things, on the local tectonic stress field. For example, wellbore stability, orientation of hydraulically induced fractures and – especially in fractured reservoirs – permeability anisotropies are contro...
