Abstract

Petroleum engineers and geologist are highly interested in the comprehension of the mechanical loading conditions that led to the present geological structure of sedimentary basins. This knowledge allows to better evaluate the state of stress, fracturation and damage, and their evolution within oil fields and reservoirs. Numerical simulations using the finite element method have become a useful tool to rebuild the mechanical history of sedimentary basins and to describe their evolution under various loading conditions. This paper describes such a numerical tool and several field cases applications in geology and petroleum geology.
