ESTIMATE OF THE STRESS STATE OF ROCKS IN THE VICINITY OF GAS-CONDENSATE FIELD ON THE SEA SHELF

摘要

The boundary-element method is used for studying the stress state of rocks in the vicinity of the extensive cavity with gas depending on the actual gravitational and tectonic forces, gas pressure, as well as deposit geometry. The pressure value, up to which the filed can be developed safely, is estimated; the possible mechanisms of enclosing mass deformation are examined.
