A METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF STRESSES AND ROCK STRENGTH ON FLUID FLOW ALONG THE SURFACES OF MECHANICAL DISCONTINUITIES IN LOW PERMEABILITY ROCKS
Changing stress can affect the ability of fluid to flow along mechanical discontinuities such as faults, fractures, or bedding planes. Stress can cause mechanical discontinuity to reactivate in shear, resulting in an increase in fluid flow. The values for present-day horizontal stress orientation an...
