A 3D explicitly coupled geomechanics and multiphase compositional model is developed
with an embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) and finite element method (FEM) to …

The extensive depletion of the development target triggers the demand for infill drilling in the
upside target of multilayer unconventional reservoirs. However, such an infill scheme in the …

There are many mature oil fields in the North Sea. One of them is the Clair Oil Field, located
on the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) in Scotland. This oil field is unique …

Owing to the rapid decline of oil production from tight oil reservoirs after primary hydraulic
fracturing treatment on the horizontal well, a refracturing stimulation is proposed for tight oil …

The change of fracture conductivity during reservoir depletion significantly affects the well
performance and stress evolution in unconventional formations. A common practice is to …

The existence of natural fractures in tight reservoirs causes great uncertainty in the infill-well
completion. However, it is difficult to quantify the effects of natural fractures on stress …

ABSTRACT A 3D coupled geomechanics and compositional reservoir simulator with
embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) is developed to model the spatial-temporal stress …

Fluid injection and production in highly fractured unconventional reservoirs could induce
complex stress reorientation and redistribution. The strong stress sensitivity of fractured …

In unconventional reservoirs, horizontal well and fracture design ultimately affect reservoir
stress evolution. To better understand how the in-situ stresses evolve in space and time and …
