This ebook introduces the newly built, built-in self-discipline of fracture and in-situ tension characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs, via sixteen well-illustrated case experiences. those hide quite a lot of instruments, from borehole scale (logs and center) to reservoir scale (e.g. 3-D and 4-D seismic). It additionally covers floor reviews (outcrop and distant sensing). additionally, it addresses the impression of fractures and in-situ stresses on fluid flows and their simulation. the topic that this quantity bargains with is gaining expanding curiosity with the development of applied sciences and moving barriers of marginal fields into more difficult floor. Fractures and their reaction to current-day in-situ stresses became an important a part of reservoir characterization in deep tight reservoirs. moreover, maturing reservoirs, that have been regarded as 'conventional' at discovery, are exhibiting indicators attribute of fractures and/or geomechanical contribution. This has bring about the necessity to delineate the fractures and the stresses in those reservoirs and revise reservoir administration consequently. This quantity could be of curiosity to a vast variety of readers from either educational and commercial institutes, who're discovering and working with hydrocarbon reservoir characterization, simulation and administration. additionally to be had: the way forward for Geological Modelling in Hydrocarbon improvement - exact ebook no 309 - ISBN 1862392668 Fractured Reservoirs - specified booklet no 270 - ISBN 1862392137 The Geological Society of LondonFounded in 1807, the Geological Society of London is the oldest geological society on the earth, and one of many greatest publishers within the Earth sciences.The Society publishes a variety of top quality peer-reviewed titles for lecturers and execs operating within the geosciences, and enjoys an enviable overseas popularity for the standard of its work.The many components during which we post in include:-Petroleum geology-Tectonics, structural geology and geodynamics-Stratigraphy, sedimentology and paleontology-Volcanology, magmatic stories and geochemistry-Remote sensing-History of geology-Regional geology publications
