Abstract
A method for predicting a stress attribute of a subsurface earth volume includes simulating a linearly independent far field stress model, a discontinuity pressure model, and a discontinuity pressure shift model for the subsurface earth volume. A stress value, a discontinuity pressure shift at a surface of the Earth, a strain value, a displacement value, or a combination thereof is computed for data points in the subsurface earth volume based on a superposition of the linearly independent far field stress model, the discontinuity pressure models, and the discontinuity pressure shift model. The stress attribute of the subsurface earth volume is predicted, based on the computed stress value, the computed discontinuity pressure shift at the surface of the Earth, the computed strain value, the computed displacement value, or the combination thereof.
