RESERVOIR COMPACTION AND SURFACE SUBSIDENCE IN THE NORTH SEA EKOFISK FIELD -- Introduction -- Discovery and exploration in the North Sea -- Production -- Ekofisk Field description -- Platforms sinking -- Causes of subsidence -- Measurements of subsidence -- Temporary remedial measures -- Permanent remedial measures -- Characteristics of the Ekofisk reservoir rocks -- Mechanics of the Ekofisk reservoir rocks -- Constitutive modeling of the reservoir Summary Subsidence of geologic surface structures due to withdrawal of fluids from aquifers and petroleum reservoirs is a phenomenon experienced throughout the world as the demand for water and hydrocarbons increases with increasing population growth. This book addresses the definition and theories of subsidence, and the influences of unique conditions on subsidence; it includes discussions of specific field cases and a basic mathematical model of reservoir compaction and accompanying loss of porosity and permeability. The book is designed as a reference for readers giving immediate access to the geological events that establish conditions for compaction, the mathematical theories of compaction and subsidence, and practical considerations of field case histories in various regions of the world Analysis Land Subsidence Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes English Print version record Subject Mine subsidences.
