Borehole Geomechanics in Petroleum Exploration and Development: From Controlling Wellbore Stability to Predicting Fault Seal Integrity

Few in the Australian oil patch were familiar with the term 'borehole breakout' when David Lowry alerted PESA Journal readers to this phenomenon (1990, v.17, p. 43-44). Ten years later, few are unfamiliar, with breakouts having been reported in every Australian basin subject to significant drilling activity. This change witnesses the dramatically increased awareness of borehole geomechanics in ...

Petroleum System of the Gippsland Basin, Australia

The Gippsland Basin Province 3930, located on the southeastern coast of Australia, is formed from two successive failed rifts that developed into a passive margin during the Cretaceous. Formation of this basin is related to the break up of Gondwana, which resulted in the separation of Antarctica from Australia, and the separation of the New Zealand and Lord Howe Rise continental crust from Aust...

Numerical investigations of fault propagation and forced-fold using a non smooth discrete element method

Geophysical problems as forced-fold evolution and fault propagation induce large deformations and many localisation. The continuum mechanics does not seem the more appropriate for their description and it appears more interesting to represent the media as initially discontinuous. To face both phenomena, a non smooth Discrete Element Method is used. Geophysical structures are considered as colle...
