Visualize critically stress fractures
Critically stressed fractures play an important role in further analysis, such as planning hydraulic stimulation.
Plug-in Overview
An extension of Petrel Geomechanics (licensed by Petrel RG), DSA provides a simple process to analyze and visualize the stability of faults and fracture patches in the Petrel platform. Analysis of the local tectonic stress state and Mohr-Coulomb shear failure are displayed via a stability diagram or 3D window, providing valuable insight for fracture characterization and fault stability studies.
Specifications
Features
With the ability to analyze discrete fracture networks as well as Petrel platform surfaces, the plug-in provides a flexible tool for geomechanical analysis. Complex stress fields, including lateral variations and stress rotations can be accounted for through the integration with the Petrel Reservoir Geomechanics workflow. An index filter allows choosing a sector model for the analysis.
