Abstract:Summary
Mechanical deformation induced by injection and withdrawal of fluids from the subsurface can significantly alter the flow paths in naturally fractured reservoirs. Modeling coupled fluid flow and mechanical deformation in fractured reservoirs relies on either sophisticated gridding techniques or enhancing the variables (degrees of freedom) that represent the physics to describe the behavior of fractured formation accurately. The objective of this study is to develop a spatial discretizati… Show more
