The influence of perturbed stresses near faults on drilling strategy: A case study in Blacktip field, North Australia

When in-situ stresses are disturbed around large scale fractures, typically faults, the direction of principal stresses can deviate from the regional trend to a completely new direction. This can have a great impact on engineering design and planning. In a gas field offshore Australia, a number of d...
