Fall 2023
As internal tides propagate in the ocean, they carry and dissipate energy over hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. We perform fully nonlinear simulations to examine the evolution of horizontally propagating, vertical mode-1 internal tides in non-uniformly stratified fluids, as it depends...

Numerical Simulation of Shale Gas Production and Fracturing Fluid Distribution: Integration of Apparent Permeability and Secondary Fracture Network Modeling
DownloadFall 2019
Complex flow mechanisms are encountered in shale matrix due to the presence of nanopores. Numerous apparent permeability models have been proposed to capture the ensuing non-Darcy flow behavior. However, these models are not readily available in most commercial reservoir simulators, and ignoring...

Optimal Application Conditions for Variable Temperature Solvent Injection into Sands and Carbonates for Heavy-Oil and Bitumen Recovery
DownloadFall 2016
Steam injection is the most common technique in heavy-oil/bitumen recovery. However, the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, its water requirements, and excessive operational cost associated entail finding alternative solutions. One approach is combining steam and solvent injection...

Smeared Modeling of Hydraulic Fracture Using Partially Coupled Reservoir and Geomechanics Simulators
Download2019-01-01
Morteza Roostaei, Siavash Taghipoor, Alireza Nouri, Vahidoddin Fattahpour, Dave Chan
There are aspects of the hydraulic fracturing process that remain unresolved for weakly consolidated sandstones. These issues include fracture modes and geometries for weak sandstones, and higher-than-expected fracture pressure in some field projects. The development of shear bands and the...
