On the Derivation of Closed-Form Expressions for Displacements, Strains, and Stresses Inside Poroelastic Reservoirs

We critically review the derivation of closed-form analytical expressions for elastic displacements, strains, and stresses inside a subsurface reservoir undergoing pore pressure changes using inclusion theory. Although developed decades ago, inclusion theory has been used recently by various authors to obtain fast estimates of depletion...
