Predicting Productivity of Multiple-Fractured Horizontal Gas Wells
In low-permeability gas reservoirs, horizontal wells have been used to increase the reservoir contact area, and hydraulic fracturing has been further extending the contact between wellbores and reservoirs. This paper presents an approach to evaluate horizontal well performance for fractured or unfractured gas wells, and a sensitivity study of gas well performance in low permeability formation. ...
متن کاملExtended Finite Element Method for Statics and Vibration Analyses on Cracked Bars and Beams
In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is employed to investigate the statics and vibration problems of cracked isotropic bars and beams. Three kinds of elements namely the standard, the blended and the enriched elements are utilized to discretize the structure and model cracks. Two techniques referred as the increase of the number of Gauss integration points and the rectangle...
متن کاملSimulating energy method for grout-induced crack analysis of rock structures at Chadormalu mine by extended finite element method
Fracture mechanics is a vital component involved in studying the exact behavior of rock materials. Detection and assessment of the behavior of rock joints injected by grout plays an important role in numerical modelling in rock mechanic projects. The importance of mechanisms associated with initiation and propagation of cracks due to hydraulic fracturing has led to a considerable interest in in...
متن کاملIntroduction to eXtended Finite Element (XFEM) Method
Abstract: In the present study the software CrackComput , based on the Xfem and Xcrack libraries has been used for three problemsto experiment on the convergence properties of the method applied to elasto-statics crack problems, comparison of stress intensity factors to simplified analytical results and study of the Brazilian fracture test. All the problems are treated in two dimensions under p...
متن کاملHigh Order Extended Finite Element Method for Cracked Domains
Computer simulation of fracture processes remains a challenge for many industrial modelling problems. In a classical finite element method, the non-smooth displacement near the crack tip is captured by refining the mesh locally. The number of degrees of freedom may drastically increase, especially in three dimensional applications. Moreover, the incremental computation of a crack growth needs f...
