DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2019.02.009
Abstract: Abstract Geomechanical characteristics should be simulated accurately given their significant effects on the whole flow patterns in porous media. However, the coupled geomechanics and flow simulation imposes severe computational challenges to the computer resources. Therefore,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2020.107608
Abstract: Abstract Shale oil flow is commonly affected by the confined phase behavior, complex fracture geometries, and geomechanical effect, which are not fully considered in the conventional compositional simulators. In this study, a coupled compositional flow… read more here.
