Some Geomechanical Aspects of Geological CO2 Sequestration
Reservoir depletion and subsequent CO2 injection into the depleted geological reservoir induce stress changes that may mechanically damage top seal and wells, or trigger existing faults, creating the leakage pathways for CO2 escape from the reservoir. The role of geomechanics is to assess the mechanical impact of stress changes on seals, wells and faults. Since many hydrocarbon fields are geome...
متن کاملCoupled Geomechanical and Reactive Geochemical Simulations for Fluid and Heat Flow in Enhanced Geothermal Reservoirs
A major concern in development of fractured reservoirs in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) is to achieve and maintain adequate injectivity, while avoiding short-circuiting flow paths. The injection performance and flow paths are dominated by fracture rock permeability. The evolution of fracture permeability can be made by change in temperature or pressure induced rock deformation and geochemic...
متن کاملChallenges in Well Testing Data from Multi-layered Reservoirs and Improving Nonlinear Regression: A Gas filed case
Well test analysis of multi-layer reservoir comprises several parts. The first part concerns the estimation of parameters values and next considers finding an appropriate method to determine the unknown reservoir parameters. If the initial estimations are less accurate and weak, the final assessment may lead to incorrect results, which are totally different from the reality. Utilizing Automated...
متن کاملGeological Characterization Of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs Using Multiple Point Geostatistics
The spatial distribution of fractures in a reservoir affects the displacement of fluids and the prediction of future performance. Realistic characterization of fractured reservoirs requires quantification and classification of fracture patterns on the basis of the underlying geological characteristics and developing reservoir modeling algorithms that can integrate connectivity based (multiple p...
متن کاملMerging Outcrop Data and Geomechanical Information in Stochastic Models of Fractured Reservoirs
According to recent estimates, the potential for oil production from fractured reservoirs in North America is of the order of tens of billion of barrels. With domestic production depending more and more on mature fields, better technology for characterizing fracture flow paths, especially in deep, nonconventional plays and in carbonate rocks is key to producing hydrocarbons economically. Fractu...
