... into tight carbonate reservoirs for increasing recovery. For fracture propagation modeling, several models have implemented multiple planar fracture with only opening mode, which have a problem in representing realistic fracture behavior. In this regard, we proposed a hydraulic fracture propagation model...

... of fracture closure pressure after reaching the formation breakdown pressure. Each microfrac test consists of three pressurization cycles and three pressure decline (fall-off) periods after fracture propagation. The fracture closure identification is achieved using three different pressure decline analysis...

The combination and reconciliation of fracture propagation and inflow modeling with monitoring and diagnostic strategies provides a holistic platform to assess this well architecture and completion strategy, especially providing more understanding on how this transverse fractures potentially...

... and mechanical properties of the reservoir. We use the fixed strain scheme to couple the mechanical problem with the flow problem sequentially. The two problems are coupled to the fracture propagation problem via stresses, pressure, elastic moduli, and permeability. The framework allows for coupled flow...

... Abstract The geomechanical factors put significant constraints on CO 2 storage in terms of injection pressures that may be limited by fracture propagation, injection rates that can be achieved without compromising the seal and excessive fracture propagation, and the CO 2 placement affected...
