A CASE STUDY OF THE SURFACE SUBSIDENCE OF THE POLESINE AREA

The Polesine, a region in the northeast of Italy, has experienced considerable surface subsidence due to the withdrawal of water and gas from the underlying reservoir sediments. These settlements have been well documented and form the basis of a comparison study with a finite element consolidation model. It is shown that the model is capable of simulating the field behaviour during production and also after the closure of the wells. /Author/
