Behavior of a hydraulic fracture in permeable formations
The permeability and coupled behavior of pore pressure and deformations play an important role in hydraulic fracturing (HF) modeling. In this work, a poroelastic displacement discontinuity method is used to study the permeability effect on the HF development in various formation permeabilities. The numerical method is verified by the existing analytical and experimental data. Then the propagati...
متن کاملModeling the Sequestration of CO2 in Deep Geological Formations
Modeling the injection of CO 2 and its sequestration will require simulations of a multi-well injection system in a large reservoir field. However, modeling at the injection well scale is a necessary prerequisite to reservoir scale modeling. We report on the development and application of two models: 1) a semi-analytical model (PNLCARB), and 2) a numerical model (STOMP-CO 2). PNLCARB can simula...
متن کاملCharacterization for Storage of CO2 in Deep Geological Formations
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is the lead Federal agency for the development and deployment of carbon sequestration technologies. As part of its mission to facilitate technology transfer and develop guidelines from lessons learned, DOE is developing a series of best practice manuals (BPMs) for carbon capture and storage (CCS). The ―Site Screening, Site Selection, and Initial Characterizat...
متن کاملMultiblock Grid Generation for Simulations in Geological Formations
Simulating fluid flow in geological formations requires mesh generation, lithology mapping to the cells, and computing geometric properties such as normal vectors and volume of cells. The purpose of this research work is to compute and process the geometrical information required for performing numerical simulations in geological formations. We present algebraic techniques, named Transfinite In...
متن کاملAnomalous scaling of fracture surfaces
We argue that fracture surfaces may exhibit anomalous dynamic scaling properties akin to what occurs in some models of kinetic roughening. We determine the complete scaling behavior of the local fluctuations of a brittle fracture in a granite block from experimental data. We obtain a global roughness exponent x51.2 which differs from the local one, x loc50.79. Implications on fracture physics a...
