Petroleum geomechanics modelling in the Eastern Mediterranean basin: analysis and application of fault stress mechanics

A fault stress analysis of a typical gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean is presented. The objective of this study is to provide estimates of the in situ stresses and pore pressure for populating a regional Mechanical Earth Model and to characterize the stability of faults under current and chang...
