Preventing surface uplift

Formation expansion and/or gas cap

FEI uplift correlationThe industry wants to know: How do you prevent flow to surface associated with surface uplift.

The application contains a discussion of FEI (Formation Expansion Index) as a predictive indicator of when surface uplift might occur. It discusses the interplay of this with an associated gas cap. Great reading for those who want to avoid such a flow. We found this using AppIntel.
