Understanding the fracture patterns of hydrocarbon reservoirs is vital in the Zagros area of
southwest of Iran as they are strongly affected by the collision of the Arabian and Iranian …

Rock shear and strain behaviors deep in the sub-surface are dependent on several
geomechanical variables. These include various types of stress and rock formation moduli …

The granite buried hill gas reservoir in YL area of Qiongdongnan basin faces a serious
problem of solid production, which seriously affects gas well production and reduces …

Rock compressibility has many applications in the upstream petroleum industry, for
example, reservoir material balance calculations and geomechanics, as related to possible …

In this study, the effect of creep behavior of salt zone of Gachsaran Formation was
investigated on the phenomenon of wellbore tightening during drilling and also casing …

In the present study, a comparison between the new shallow tunneling method (STM) and
the traditional pile and rib method (PRM) was conducted to excavate and construct subway …

In this study, the correlation between geometric properties of the fracture network and stress
variability in a fractured rock was studied. Initially, discrete fracture networks were generated …

The presence of natural fractures in fractured media plays a vital role in the in-situ stress
state, which is predominantly influenced by tectonic stresses and local perturbations …

Anisotropy and deformation in rock material is mainly caused by the non-uniformity and
irregular geometry of fracture systems. This factor is among the important problems in …

One of the most important tasks of the drilling fluid is to maintain and provide the stability of
the well. Low pressure inside the well can lead to the collapse of the wall or the unwanted …
