Least principal stress as function of depth in Gulf of Mexico (Matthew and Kelly)

Input(s)

SvS v: Vertical Overburden Stress (psi)

KiK i: Constant as Function of Depth (dimensionless)

Pp: Pore Pressure in Reservoir (psi)

Output(s)

Shmin\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{hmin}}: Minimum Principal Stress in Reservoir (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

Formula(s)

Shmin=Ki( SvPp)+Pp\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{hmin}}=\mathrm{Ki} *(\mathrm{~Sv}-\mathrm{Pp})+\mathrm{Pp}
