Understanding in-situ stresses is the foundation for investigating deep rock mechanics. In
practice, the fracture morphology of a disced core can often reflect its in-situ environment …

Abstract The Nile Delta has become an economically important region of Egypt, because of
large-scale natural gas and oil discoveries in recent decades. The offshore Baltim East field …

Horizontal in situ stress prediction plays an important role in petroleum exploration, such as
wellbore stability analysis and hydraulic fracturing design. However, owing to the …

Abstract Study region The Aswan region is a vast plateau in the South of Egypt located 150
m above mean sea level (AMSL). Within this region, the tourist city of Aswan is Egypt's …

Assessment of organic carbon content (TOC) by geophysical logs has been a challenging
task in the formation evaluation of shale gas. This research is conducted to estimate the …

This study evaluates the unconventional reservoir geomechanical characteristics of the
Lower Turonian Abu Roash-F (AR-F) carbonates from the Abu Gharadig field, onshore …

Marine carbonate source rocks are ubiquitous worldwide and many of these can act as self-
sourced unconventional reservoirs. This work focuses on the Lower Turonian Abu Roash-F …

Abstract The Upper Miocene Qawasim Formation is an important hydrocarbon reservoir of
the West Dikirnis field, onshore Nile Delta. Here we present a detailed assessment of the …

This study presents a geomechanical assessment of the 4km thick Paleocene-Pleistocene
succession of the Tui field area from Taranaki Basin, offshore New Zealand. Based on the …

Accurate understanding of the reservoir pore pressure and in-situ stress behaviour in
response to depletion has critical effects in production optimization and field redevelopment …
