Production or injection of fluids from/in an underground storage site causes variations of pore pressure and stress states. These fluctuations significantly affect implications for hydraulic fracturing, wellbore integrity, top surface subsidence and…
The study aims to evaluate ground deformations in a vast area characterized by the coexistence of intense anthropic activities and offshore natural gas production. Onshore subsidence can be studied by GNSS, InSAR, high precision leveling and…
Land subsidence due to groundwater extraction can cause a permanent loss of groundwater storage, and thus mitigating this is crucial for sustainable groundwater management. One challenge in effective mitigation is accurately predicting the effect of…
Oil pipelines are normally buried at a shallow depth for protection against environmental hazard and pilferage. Because of their shallow depth of burial, they have the least known stability threat unless they pass over some hazardous region. In the…
This paper presents a case study of the effect of an abandoned cavern of large diameter on the long-term stability of an oil storage facility in domal salt. The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve stores crude oil in solution-mined caverns in the Bryan…
