A reservoir geomechanical modeling has been attempted in the hydrocarbon-bearing Miocene formations in the offshore Badri field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt. Pore pressure established from the direct downhole measurements indicated sub-hydrostatic condition in the depleted mid-Miocene Hammam Faraun and Kareem reservoirs. Vertical stress (S_v) estimated using bulk density data yielded an average of 0.98 PSI/feet (22.17 MPa/km) gradient. Magnitudes of minimum (S_hmin) and maximum (S_hmax) horizontal stresses were deduced from the poro-elastic model. Relative stress magnitudes (S_v ≥ S_hmax > S_hmin) reflect a normal faulting tectonic stress in the Badri field. Pore pressure and stress perturbations (ΔPP and ΔS_h) in the depleted reservoirs investigated from actual measurements recognized ‘stress path’ values of 0.54 and 0.59 against the Hammam Faraun and Kareem Formations, respectively. These stress path values are far away from the normal faulting limit (0.68), indicating induced normal faulting or fault reactivation to be unlikely at the present depletion rate.

已经尝试在埃及苏伊士湾的近海Badri油田中的含烃中新世地层中进行油藏地质力学建模。通过直接井下测量确定的孔隙压力表明，中新世中的哈马姆·法劳恩油田和贾里姆油田已经枯竭。使用堆积密度数据估算的垂直应力（S _v）平均产生0.98 PSI /英尺（22.17 MPa / km）的梯度。从孔隙弹性模型推导出最小（S _hmin）和最大（S _hmax）水平应力的大小。相对应力大小（小号_v  ≥ 小号_HMAX  > 小号_HMIN）反映了Badri油田的正断层构造应力。根据实际测量结果调查的枯竭油藏中的孔隙压力和应力扰动（ΔPP和ΔS _h）分别对应于哈马姆·法劳恩岩和卡里姆岩层的“应力路径”值分别为0.54和0.59。这些应力路径值远离正常断层极限（0.68），表明在当前的消耗速率下不太可能引起正常断层或断层再激活。
