4D geomechanical simulations for field development planning
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
3D and 4D geomechanical can be time-consuming to build and calibrate. However, once such a model is built, it is relative straightforward to use this model for various field development and management applications. In so doing, the return on the initial investment of time and effort in the creation of a 4D geomechanical model can be substantial. I present a case study where a 4D geomechanical model of a deepwater turbidite field under water flood is used to: Assessment of wellbore stability for drilling inclined infill wells after a stuck pipe event Calculation of maximum allowable injection pressures during hydraulic stimulation to avoid out-of-zone growth of stimulated fractures, and evaluation of risk of fault re-activation during a range of production scenarios for pressure support in order to establish safe operational limits for pressure support. Model building uses seismic inversion volumes to constrain a geological facies model, followed by upscaling to a reservoir simulation model and history matching. Similarly, a 3D geomechanical property model is built to the seafloor. The calibration of the pre-production stress state of the geomechanical model comprises of matching the results of 3D finite element stress field calculations to 1D wellbore models. The calibration uses a novel method of linking tectonic strain terms in poro-elastic equations in the 1D and 3D models. Production and injection processes are the computed using a fully coupled finite element based geomechanical flow simulator, solving multi-phase (black-oil) fluid flow and geomechanics equations simultaneously on the same computational mesh. The computational mesh is optimized for geomechanical predictions of wellbore and fault stability.

Linear, 2-Dimensional and now 3-Dimensional visualization are the current tools used in the construction planning area. It is time for a new dimension to be added the dimension in which Planning Engineers are more interested. The dimension is TIME, which is now appropriate to add as the 4th dimension in construction planning. Current planning processes in the construction industry are still mai...
متن کامل4D Treatment Planning Implementations for TRiP98
TRiP98 is a treatment planning program for heavy ion radiotherapy[1] with a scanned ion beam and was developed at GSI[2]. It has been successfully used in clinical routine from 1997-2008 for over 400 patients, predominantly with head and neck tumors[3]. The treatment of mobile tumors, such as lung tumors, with a scanned ion beam poses additional challenges, resulting into a higher complexity of...

At Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) more than 330 patients have been treated with scanned carbon ion beams in a pilot project. To date, only stationary tumors have been treated. In the presence of motion, scanned ion beam therapy is not yet possible because of interplay effects between scanned beam and target motion which can cause severe mis-dosage. We have started a project to trea...
