Abstract
A method for obtaining hydrocarbon from a reservoir in a subterranean formation is described. The method includes measuring a poromechanic pressure change due to lithostatic load sharing in the subterranean formation. Mapping the poromechanic pressure change to one or more locations in the subterranean formation. Identifying one or more local pressure peaks in the poromechanic pressure change, wherein the one or more local pressure peaks are each marked by a pressure escalation and subsequent pressure depletion. Determining a drained reservoir volume in the hydrocarbon reservoir based on the pressure escalation.
