Abstract

Summary

Whenever fluids are injected or extracted from a reservoir, pore pressure and stress field change both in the reservoir and in the overburden. According to geomechanics, such variation in stress or pore pressure can produce a reservoir compaction, trigger pre-existing faults or even generate new ones. Al these events will translate into surface deformation which turns to be a valuable information to better understand the subsurface phenomena.

In the last few years, the analysis of multi-temporal SAR data sets represents an important layer of information, for reservoir monitoring and management.

The possibility to provide an high spatial density of accurate measurement points make InSAR an additional information to be integrated with subsurface data to calibrate geomechanical models, to identify fault/fracture reactivation providing also information about the fault geometry and mechanism.
