Numerical Modeling of Thermal EOR: Comprehensive Coupling of an AMR-Based Model of Thermal Fluid Flow and Geomechanics — Modeling Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) can involve significant CPU (Central Processing Unit) time when both thermal fluid flow and geomechanics are coupled in order to take into account variations of permeability and porosity inside the reservoir due to stress change...

the rapid growth in natural gas consumption has increased the need for gas storage, in particular in the form of injection into depleted reservoirs. also, co2 sequestration into the depleted reservoirs has attracted a large attention recently. however, it is important to ensure that the injection pressure is maintained below a certain limit to avoid unsealing the cap rock or reactivation of any...

In this paper the analytical solutions for radial consolidation that include time dependent surcharge loading and vacuum pressure are proposed, whilst also considering the impact of the parabolic variation of permeability in the smear zone. The use of the spectral method for multilayered soil consolidation is introduced and verified. The Elliptical Cavity Expansion Theory is used to predict the...

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...

Geomechanics is advancing our understanding of the multi-physical processes encountered in engineering practices involving energy storage and production environmental protection for which characterization behavior relevant materials essential. Trends based on publications Energy Environment Journal over past seven years have revealed that four areas research are currently utmost importance: (1)...
