Modeling interporosity flow for improved simulation of naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2002)
Results from the numerical examples presented in this study indicate that the physical phenomena considered in the present model would predict shorter water breakthrough times and less oil recovery from the matrix, compared ...
Anisotropic poromechanics of the wellbore coupled with thermal and chemical gradients.
(2002)
A generalized anisotropic porothermoelastic formulation incorporating fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical response of saturated porous media is developed. Governing equations are tailored for transversely isotropic media ...
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 ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of freezing and thawing of saturated porous media and application to shale and pore volume compressibility estimation.
(2007)
Conventional logging tool response is complicated by the presence of shale making it difficult to interpret the log response. Water saturation in shales assumes the shales are filled with brines found in nearby sands. In ...
