Seismic interpretation and evaluation of the Cenozoic uplift in the southwestern Barents Sea

, 2014
Several studies have suggested considerable uplift and erosion in the western Barents Sea and Svalbard margin during Cenozoic times. After continental breakup of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea, a primary tectonic uplift was induced as consequence of the ...

Rock Mechanical Anisotropy, and its Impact on Borehole Stability

, 2014
In drilling operations, small margins between wellbore collapse and hydraulicfracturing can become aggravated in anisotropic formations. A stuck piperesulting from borehole failure can give serious economic consequences, as itmay require sidetracking or ...
