Fault stability

The Fault Stability module allows to evaluate whether faults and fractures are stable or in a critical stress state, i.e. they can be considered hydraulically conductive. The input information for the analysis is a calibrated 1D geomechanical model and the faults and fractures orientation in space.

The calculation results include:

• Stress state assessment for each fault or fracture
• Stability loss conditions for each fault or fracture
• Location and orientation of critical stress fault or fracture
