This book offers an introduction to the geomechanical issues raised by both the extraction of
actual and potential energy resources and by the treatment of the ensuing environmental
concerns. Discussions of the operations of injection of fluids into and withdrawal from
geological formations link the chapters each devoted to a particular technical aspect or
scientific issue or to a particular energy resource.Subjects are ordered according to their
industrial applications including enhanced oil and gas recovery gas hydrates enhanced
geothermal systems hydraulic fracturing and carbon dioxide sequestration. An overview of the
industrial research and simulation aspects for each subject is provided. Fluid Injection in
Deformable Geological Formations will be of interest to academic and industrial researchers in
a wide variety of fields including computational mechanics civil engineering geotechnical
engineering and geomechanics engineering seismology petroleum engineering reservoir
engineering and engineering geology.
