Well Interference Analysis of Shale Gas Wells Based on Embedded Discrete Fracture Model
Geofluids, 2022 Well interference is commonly observed in shale gas reservoirs due to the small well spacing, and it significantly affects the shale gas production. Effective evaluation of well interference is important to increase the gas production of shale gas wells.

Discrete element method to simulate continuous material by using the cohesive beam model [PDF]
, 2012 The mechanical behavior of materials is usually simulated by the continuous mechanics approach. However, simulation of non-continuous phenomena like multi fracturing is not well adapted to a continuous description.

An efficient finite difference model for multiphase flow in fractured reservoirs
Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2014 Considering the discontinuities of flow phase saturations at the matrix-fracture interfaces, a new difference model is proposed to simulate the multi-phase flow in reservoir with conductive fractures.

A PDE-constrained optimization formulation for discrete fracture network flows [PDF]
, 2013 We investigate a new numerical approach for the computation of the 3D flow in a discrete fracture network that does not require a conforming discretization of partial differential equations on complex 3D systems of planar fractures.

The investigation of fracture pattern effect on fluid transport and production prediction in M field
Energy Exploration & Exploitation, 2021 Due to the discontinuity and multi-scale of fracture porous media (FPM), fluid transport in the naturally fractured reservoir (NFR) is more complex than in the conventional reservoirs.

Existence of solutions to a regularized model of dynamic fracture [PDF]
, 2010 Existence and convergence results are proved for a regularized model of dynamic brittle fracture based on the Ambrosio–Tortorelli approximation. We show that the sequence of solutions to the time-discrete elastodynamics, proposed by Bourdin, Larsen ...

Well Placement Optimization for Fractured Reservoirs: Coupling StoSAG and EDFM
Geofluids, 2022 Well placement optimization is a significant task in oil field development which aims to find the optimal well locations by maximizing the net present value (NPV) or other objective function.
