Inelastic deformation of the Slochteren sandstone: Stress‐strain relations and implications for induced seismicity in the Groningen gas field

RPJ Pijnenburg, BA Verberne… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Pore pressure reduction in sandstone reservoirs generally leads to small elastic plus
