(2016-04-29)In hydraulic fracturing stimulation treatments for organic-rich mudrocks, some issues that pose challenges in pre-completions design include selection of intervals for stimulation treatment, and selection of proppants for ...
-
(2021-08-25)The Reservoir GeoMechanics Simulator (RGMS), a geomechanics simulator based on the finite element method and parallelized using the Message Passing Interface (MPI), is developed in this work to model the stresses and ...
-
(2020-07-13)With the recent development of unconventional reservoirs, attention has been geared towards the integration of the geomechanical models with traditional flow simulation. A case in point is quantifying rock-fluid interactions ...

DEVELOPMENT OF EFFICIENTLY COUPLED FLUID FLOW AND GEOMECHANICS MODEL FOR HIGHLY FRACTURED RESERVOIRS (2019-11-14)Number of unconventional developments have increased greatly in the recent years to meet the global demand on hydrocarbon usages. Completion work can be very challenging due to complex characteristic of unconventional ...
-
(2018-11-29)In naturally fractured reservoirs, the performance of fractured wells is closely related to in-situ stress state and natural fracture distributions. The anisotropic geomechanical behavior of naturally fractured rock makes ...
-
(2009-05-15)Predicting the performance of wells in compartmentalized reservoirs can be quite challenging to most conventional reservoir engineering tools. The purpose of this research is to develop a Compartmentalized Gas Depletion ...
-
(2019-05-15)Amplitude Variation with Offset (AVO) inversion is an effective method to estimate elastic parameters of target subsurface layers. However, most conventional AVO inversions are based on linear approximations of Zoeppritz ...
-
(2011-10-21)In geothermal reservoirs and unconventional gas reservoirs with very low matrix permeability, fractures are the main routes of fluid flow and heat transport, so the fracture permeability change is important. In fact, ...
-
(2015-10-30)Knowledge of the mechanical behavior of rocks is necessary to predict the response of reservoirs and basins to naturogenic and anthropogenic changes. Applications with significant economic and environmental impacts include ...
-
(2016-12-07)Shale gas wells exhibit long-term transient linear flow, which is in most cases the only flow regime available for analysis in these wells. Several methods have been developed to analyze transient linear flow in shale gas ...
-
(2017-08-02)This study furthers our understanding of the causes of wellbore failure by thoroughly analyzing key properties (e.g., in-situ stress regime, formation and pore pressures, and rock properties) associated with wellbore ...
