New Analytical Approach for Reservoir Stress Approximation Based on Acid Fracturing Data
In this research attempts were made to estimate the in-situ stresses acting on a hydrocarbon reservoir based on routine activities of acid injection in oil reservoir. It was found that the relation between the re-opening pressure of fracture and principal in-situ stresses can be estimated using rock mechanics equations for the circular underground cavities. An appropriate relation between the m...
متن کاملA variational hydraulic fracturing model coupled to a reservoir simulator
A variational fracture model coupled to an external reservoir simulator through variable exchange is presented. While convergence is not optimal without Jacobian matrices with which fully coupling can provide, the presented coupling scheme is versatile enough that the reservoir simulator could be easily replaced with any other simulator. A variational approach to fracture is introduced first by...
متن کاملLaboratory Studies of the Formation of Molecular Hydrogen on Surfaces at Cryogenic Temperatures
The interstellar medium (ISM) is the region o f space between the stars, where star and planet formation occurs. Molecular hydrogen in the ISM initiates all the chemistry that occurs in these regions and without it, no stars or planets could form. The molecules formed by the chemistry initiated by H2 provide cooling mechanisms for the huge molecular clouds which collapse to form stars. It is we...
متن کاملScale Model Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing for EGS Reservoir Creation Using a Heated True-Triaxial Apparatus
Geothermal energy technology has successfully provided a means of generating stable base load electricity for many years. However, implementation has been spatially limited to rare high quality traditional resources possessing the combination of a shallow high heat flow anomaly and an aquifer with sufficient permeability and fluid recharge. Enhanced Geother‐ mal Systems (EGS) technology has bee...
متن کاملStudies of Reservoir Hosts for Marburg Virus
To determine reservoir hosts for Marburg virus (MARV), we examined the fauna of a mine in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The mine was associated with a protracted outbreak of Marburg hemorrhagic fever during 1998-2000. We found MARV nucleic acid in 12 bats, comprising 3.0%-3.6% of 2 species of insectivorous bat and 1 species of fruit bat. We found antibody to the virus in the se...
