..., a possible hazard is the creation of fractures that could lead to compromising formation integrity. To optimize injection pressure, operators perform leak-off test using a water-based fluid which has considerably different properties from CO 2 . Thus, the rock geomechanical response (breakdown pressure (P b...

..., due to their perceived relatively high mechanical stiffnesses. Here, we apply novel geomechanics theoretical analyses and laboratory testing methodologies previously developed for deep-water assets to typical Permian Basin lithologies and describe both textural controls on pore volume compressibility...

... Abstract We propose an efficient coupled flow and geomechanics simulation that utilizes multi-resolution grids based on Diffusive Time-of-Flight (DTOF). This work generalizes the Fast Marching Method (FMM) - based flow simulation developed for unconventional reservoirs (Chen et al., 2022...

... for better utilizing this novel strain-pressure relationship to estimate conductive fractures and pressure profiles. We use a coupled geomechanics and fluid flow model to simulate the strain and pressure changes in the near-well and far-field regions during stable production and shut-in periods. A linear...

... Abstract Currently, two unresolved challenges encountered in unconventional reservoir simulation are: (1) accurately modeling complex interaction between hydraulic fracture, natural fracture and tight matrix; (2) efficiently couple geomechanics with fluid flow in fractured reservoirs...

... are based on public data. In terms of hydraulic fractures for each well, their geometry and conductivities are evenly built. Furthermore, our geomechanical module is applied to capture the evolution of stress field and rock failure, where a Barton-Bandis model and a Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion...

... Abstract When analyzing gas production from Green River Basin vertical wells in western Wyoming, geomechanical log curves have proven to be superior at predicting production performance than gamma ray alone. Production logs showed many “clean” sandstones that were thought to be of high...
