Abstract

On the basis of the establishment of geological, mechanical and computation models for the Jing'an area, the spatial distribution of modern stress field in the Yanchang Series of Triassic System in the area has been studied by the three-dimensinal finite element method. The results will have an important bearing on the disposition of oil wells, plan of modification of hydrofracturing and the design of horizontal well and water injection management.
