Abstract:The shale oil reservoirs of the Lower Permian Fengcheng Formation in the northern Mahu Sag are promising targets. However, complex geology and strong heterogeneity in the area pose great difficulties in the numerical simulation of in situ stress fields, which have for a long time been poorly understood. This study provides a systematic and accurate 3D in situ stress numerical simulation workflow based on comprehensive data. In this research, optimized ant tracking was applied to construct refined geological mo… Show more
