Coupled Geomechanics and Flow Modeling of Fractured Reservoirs considering Matrix Permeability Anisotropy

open access: yesGeofluids, 2022
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 ...
