  • REGIONAL STRESS INVERSION USING FRICTIONAL FAULTS
    Publication number: 20160011333
    Abstract: A method for predicting regional stress of a subsurface volume includes obtaining a model matrix of the subsurface volume representing a relationship between a modeled fault slip result generated by a model and a boundary condition applied to the model, the boundary condition having a regional stress attribute and a fault friction attribute, calculating, using the model, the modeled fault slip result based on a selected value of the stress attribute and a selected value of the friction attribute, calculating a cost function representing a difference between the modeled fault slip result and a measurement of the subsurface volume, and minimizing the cost function by iteratively adjusting at least the selected value of the stress attribute to generate a prediction of the regional stress of the subsurface volume.
