XFEM-Based CZM for the Simulation of 3D Multiple-Cluster Hydraulic Fracturing in Quasi-Brittle Shale Formations
(Springer, 2016-08-02)The cohesive zone model (CZM) honors the softening effects and plastic zone at the fracture tip in a quasibrittle rock, e.g., shale,which results in amore precise fracture geometry and pumping pressure compared to those ... -
Poroelastic modeling of basement fault reactivation caused by saltwater disposal near Venus, Johnson County, Texas
(U.S. Rock Mechanics / Geomechanics SymposiumAmerican Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA), 2020-06-28)To assess the potential for fault reactivation in response to wastewater injection near Venus, Texas, we conducted fully coupled 3D poroelastic finite element simulations for a site-specific geomechanical analysis. We find ... -
Simulation of hydraulic fracturing in quasi-brittle shale formations using characterized cohesive layer: Stimulation controlling factors
(Elsevier, 2014-11-18)Economic production from shale gas cannot be achieved by natural mechanisms alone; it requires technologies such as hydraulic fracturing in multiple stages along a horizontal wellbore. Developing numerical models for ... -
Numerical Modeling of Wax Deposition Using SPH
(7th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, 2010-07-19)Phase change and deposition of solid particles in liquid flows are undesirable in some natural and industrial processes and can be hazardous in some cases. Considering the difficulties involved in petroleum exploitation ...
