Mathematical Modeling of Stress Fields for the Problems of Prospecting and Mining the Hydrocarbon Deposits

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibility of predicting the reservoir rock location is shown on the basis of finite-element modeling of the volume stress-strain state of rock mass. To increase the calculation accuracy, this method procedure is improved with regard for the conjugation conditions of the stress field components at the interfaces.
