Naturally fractured reservoirs have been a source of challenging issues with regard to field
development, well stability, drilling, and enhanced oil recovery, as a connected fracture …

Multipoint flux approximation (MPFA) methods were introduced to solve control‐volume
formulations on general grids. Although these methods are general in the sense that they …

In this paper, we study some discretization schemes for diffusive flows in heterogeneous
anisotropic porous media. We first introduce the notion of gradient scheme, and show that …

The development of a parallel general-purpose simulation framework for coupled reservoir
models and multisegment wells is the subject of this dissertation. With this work, the General …

The Johansen formation is a candidate site for large-scale CO 2 storage offshore of the
south-western coast of Norway. An overview of the geology for the Johansen formation and …

Mechanistic modeling of water resources systems is a broad field with abundant challenges.
We consider classes of model formulations that are considered routine, the focus of current …

In this study, we developed a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM), three-
dimensional model to simulate hydraulic fracturing (HF) treatments. Using the pseudo …

The development of cell‐centered finite volume discretizations for deformation is motivated
by the desire for a compatible approach with the discretization of fluid flow in deformable …

In this paper, we develop a new mixed finite element method for elliptic problems on general
quadrilateral and hexahedral grids that reduces to a cell-centered finite difference scheme …

We present a flexible general-purpose reservoir simulation framework based on Automatic
Differentiation (AD). The new AD-based simulator supports unstructured grids, employs a …
