A method of integrated analysis and prediction of ground subsidence in oil fields is being developed at the Canadian Centre for Geodetic Engineering. The method utilizes the in-situ data such as location and geometry of the oil reservoir, geology, pressure in oil wells, production data, and surface deformation monitoring results. The data is used in forward analysis of deformation analysis of the rock mass. The reservoir compaction and subsidence modeling is based on the functional relationship between production, change of pressure in underground oil reservoir and measured ground subsidence. As a first stage of the study, various methods of ground subsidence modeling have been implemented and compared in modeling the effects of oil extraction in oil fields along La Costa Oriental del Lago de Maracaibo (COLM) in Venezuela. A method of "nucleus strain", Knothe's influence function, and finite element method have been used in the comparison.

Metoda zintegrowanej analizy i przewidywania osiadania powierzchni górotworu wywołanego wydobyciem ropy naftowej została opracowana przez Kanadyjskie Centrum Geodezji Inżynieryjnej. Metoda ta jest oparta na wykorzystaniu takich informacji, jak geometria zbiornika roponośnego, budowa geologiczna górotworu, stan ciśnienia w otworach wiertniczych, dane wydobycia ropy naftowej oraz dane pomiarowe osiadania powierzchni górotworu. Dane te są wykorzystywane w modelowaniu osiadania powierzchni górotworu na podstawie obliczonej kompakcji zbiornika roponośnego. W analizie wykorzystano relacje między zmianami ciśnienia w zbiorniku, produkcji i pomierzonym osiadaniem powierzchni. Porównano trzy modele obliczania osiadania powierzchni, wykorzystując dane z eksploatacji pól naftowych w La Costa Oriental del Lago de Maracaibo (COLM) w Wenezueli. Modelami tymi były model "nucleus strain", metoda Knothego oraz metoda elementów skończonych.
