A comprehensive numerical model for simulating two-phase flow in shale gas reservoirs with complex hydraulic and natural fractures [PDF]
Increase in energy demand has played a significant role in the persistent exploitation and exploration of unconventional oil and gas resources. Shale gas reservoirs are one of the major unconventional resources.

An Integrated Approach for Simulation of Two-Phase Flows in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs Using Embedded Discrete Fracture Model and Aerial Image Processing [PDF]
This paper introduces an integrated approach for simulating two-phase flows in naturally fractured reservoirs. The proposed computational process comprises two key steps: 1) generating a representation of the fracture network from aerial images using ...

The effect of geomechanics is crucial in the modeling of fractured reservoirs since fractures can be more stress-sensitive than the rock matrix. In fractured reservoirs, the microscale fractures are often homogenized into the matrix continuum leading to ...

CariGANs: Unpaired Photo-to-Caricature Translation
Facial caricature is an art form of drawing faces in an exaggerated way to convey humor or sarcasm. In this paper, we propose the first Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for unpaired photo-to-caricature translation, which we call "CariGANs".

Case Study: Analysis of Stimulated Reservoir Volume Properties Through Application of Embedded Discrete Fracture Modelling [PDF]
Hydraulic fracture modelling has always been a challenging task due to the complex network of fractures that have been created in shale and unconventional reservoirs and its associated uncertainty.

A history matching workflow using proxy-based MCMC applied in tight reservoir simulation studies [PDF]
Reservoir simulation for tight reservoirs often requires characterization of hydraulic and natural fracture networks in the reservoir model. Microseismic data reveals approximate boundary of the fracture networks but its direct application of stimulated ...
