First‐ and second‐order patterns of stress in the lithosphere: The World Stress Map Project
TL;DR: In this paper, more than 7300 in situ stress orientations have been compiled as part of the World Stress Map project and over 4400 are considered reliable tectonic stress indicators, recording horizontal stress orientation to within <±25°.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of stress orientation and magnitude in deep wells
Mark D. Zoback,Colleen A. Barton,Martin Brudy,D. A. Castillo,Thomas Finkbeiner,Balz Grollimund,Daniel Moos,Pavel Peska,C.D. Ward,David J Wiprut +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of techniques for determination of in situ stress orientation and magnitude in deep wells and boreholes is presented, and case studies derived from oil and gas fields in different parts of the world are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geomechanics of CO2 storage in deep sedimentary formations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a review of the geomechanics and modeling of geOMEchanics associated with geologic carbon storage (GCS), focusing on storage in deep sedimentary formations, in particular saline aquifers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of hydrostatic pore pressures and high crustal strength for the deformation of intraplate lithosphere
Mark D. Zoback,John Townend +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the upper and lower crust and lithospheric mantle are totally coupled and that the total strength of the lithosphere is equal to the magnitude of tectonic driving forces.
