Fully Coupled Geomechanics and Discrete Flow Network Modeling of Hydraulic Fracturing for Geothermal Applications
The primary objective of our current research is to develop a computational test bed for evaluating borehole techniques to enhance fluid flow and heat transfer in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Simulating processes resulting in hydraulic fracturing and/or the remobilization of existing fractures, especially the interaction between propagating fractures and existing fractures, represents a c...
متن کاملCoupled geomechanics and flow simulation for time-lapse seismic modeling
To accurately predict production in compactible reservoirs, we must use coupled models of fluid flow and mechanical deformation. Staggered-in-time loose coupling of flow and deformation via a high-level numerical interface that repeatedly calls first flow and then mechanics allows us to leverage the decades of work put into individual flow and mechanics simulators while still capturing realisti...
متن کاملConvergence of iterative coupling for coupled flow and geomechanics
In this paper we study solving iteratively the coupling of flow and mechanics. We demonstrate the stability and convergence of two widely used schemes: the undrained split method and the fixed stress split method. To our knowledge this is the first time that such results have been rigorously obtained and published in the scientific literature. In addition, we propose a new stress split method, ...
متن کاملCoupled modeling of multiphase flow and fault poromechanics during geologic CO2 storage
Coupling between fluid flow and mechanical deformation in porous media plays a critical role in geologic storage of CO2. One of the key issues in simulation of CO2 sequestration is the ability to describe the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of faults, and the influence of the stress tensor and change in pressure on fault slip. Here, we present a new computational approach to model coupled mul...
متن کاملWere the May 2012 Emilia-Romagna earthquakes induced? A coupled flow-geomechanics modeling assessment
Seismicity induced by fluid injection and withdrawal has emerged as a central element of the scientific discussion around subsurface technologies that tap into water and energy resources. Here we present the application of coupled flow-geomechanics simulation technology to the post mortem analysis of a sequence of damaging earthquakes (Mw= 6.0 and 5.8) in May 2012 near the Cavone oil field, in ...
