Funded Activity Summary

Integrating Stress and Strain Data from the North West Shelf, Australia: Implications for Hydrocarbon Seal Integrity. Many exploration wells in the Australian North West Shelf encounter residual columns from which hydrocarbons have leaked due to fault reactivation. Recently there has been a significant increase in our knowledge of contemporary stress (from data such as borehole breakouts) and strain (from fault reactivation styles) on the North West Shelf. This project will integrate information on stress and strain in order to investigate whether the current state-of-stress is consistent with observed reactivation styles, and thus develop predictive models for fault reactivation and hydrocarbon leakage based on the distribution of stress and strain.
