Abstract
Most oil and gas reservoirs experience only small amounts of compaction and surface subsidence. Significant subsidence due to production of hydrocarbons has been observed over some oil and gas fields. This paper presents a review of the fundamentals of reservoir compaction and surface subsidence over oil and gas fields and explains why large-scale subsidence is rare. A new method of estimating maximum potential subsidence is presented and used to analyze the subsidence over oil and gas fields in Louisiana.--Modified book abstract.
