A multiple interacting continua (MINC) method is presented, which is applicable for
numerical simulation of heat and multiphase fluid flow in multidimensional, fractured porous …

In the past two or three decades, fractured rock domains have received increasing attention
not only in reservoir engineering and hydrology, but also in connection with geological …

This paper describes the application of the method of" Multiple Interacting Continua"(MINC)
to the simulation of oil recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs. A generalization of the …

Reinjection into geothermal reservoirs is discussed and the experience gained by
reinjection experiments in 44 geothermal fields is reviewed. Reinjection started purely as a …

Introduction Reinjection of spent geothermal brines is the most attractive method for their
disposal. Field experience and theoretical work have shown that properly designed injection …

Analtyical solutions based on a porothermomechanical formulation for double-porosity
media have been presented. Complete coupling is ensured among fluid flow, heat flow, and …

This article attempts to critically evaluate the present state of the art of geothermal reservoir
simulation. Methodological aspects of geothermal reservoir modeling are briefly reviewed …

During the last decade, the use of numerical modeling for geothermal resource evaluation
has grown significantly, and new modeling approaches have been developed. In this paper …

1. What is the MINC-method? MINC stands for" Multiple INteracting Continua." It is an
approximate method for modeling fluid and heat flow in fractured-porous media, developed …

The flooding of the Lorraine coal mines (France), representing a huge reservoir of about
154× 106m3, began in June 2006. After attaining thermal equilibrium with the surrounding …
