On how water injection may induce fault reactivation and slippage: A numerical method

During the water injection process in oil fields, the original stress equilibrium of faults might be disrupted by the large influx of fluids into the reservoir, resulting in movements. Fault slip may lead to the leakage of underground oil and gas, in addition to impairing the integrity of wellbore a...
