Abstract

Summary

The main purpose of this study was to derive the present-day stress-strain field in the subsurface resulting from sedimentary deposition in offshore basins. The approach presented here can be used to simulate and/or understand better long-term fluid migration mechanisms resulting from the depositional process with relation to, for example, the utilization of subsurface aquifers, such as geothermal reservoirs, CO2 underground storage, etc. The results can be used to constrain better the initial and boundary conditions needed in reservoir modelling
