Laboratory imaging of hydraulic fractures using microseismicity.
(2002)
Developing robust algorithms and software for locating the coordinates of hydraulic fracturing-induced microseismic events, and for simulating the first motion of the induced waveforms were central tasks for this research. ...
Chemoporoelastic solution of transversely isotropic saturated porous media.
(2004)
The solution is closed-form in the Laplace domain; and is then inverted to the time domain by using Stehfest's (1970) algorithm. This solution simulates the chemoporoelastic process triggered by drilling a borehole in ...
Physico-chemical behaviors of shale/fluid/solute interaction in geo-environmental and geo-engineering applications.
(2007)
This dissertation examines the rich and complex physical-mechanical behaviors exhibited by shales when exposed to differing solutions over time, temperature, chemical, and stress conditions. Using several unique experimental ...
The poromechanics of naturally fractured rock formations: A finite element approach.
(2003)
The mathematical models have been cast into finite element form and verified against analytical solutions for one-dimensional consolidation and an inclined wellbore in a fully saturated single-porosity formation subjected ...
Effect of pressure depletion on hydrocarbon recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2006)
The link between well test analysis, the material balance equation, and the elastic properties of the rock resides in the fluid storage capacity. Thus, in this study, the influence of stress on the mechanical behavior of ...
