The numerical simulation is carried out using a self-developed coupled finite element model which incorporates our proposed strain-induced permeability model. The obtained simulation results were compared...

... and 7-spot for 3-D problems. Much effort has been made in developing a coupled geomechanics-reservoir simulator using finite element methods (FEM) by Du and Wong (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). The developed simulator has the capability of handling full permeability tensor and strain-induced permeability model...

Permeability Conventional Permeability Model The permeability is one of the most important properties in determining...

... Abstract This paper extends the fully coupled geomechanics and reservoir simulator previously developed by the authors to include temperature effects using finite element method (FEM). The strain-induced permeability model and the full permeability tensor are incorporated in the deformation...
