COVID Shut-In Choices Across Unconventional Reservoirs: Evidence From the Bakken and the Marcellus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The COVID-19 epidemic had unprecedented impacts on oil and gas markets. Vanishing energy demand in this sector led to significant drop of oil and gas prices over a short period of time. Some operators choose to curtail ...
An Analytical Solution for Microannulus Cracks Developed Around a Wellbore
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In situations like blowout or hydraulic fracturing, excessive fluid pressure may cause leaking in the casing in shallower parts of the formation. The resulting high pressure may form a cylindrical crack around the wellbore. ...
Anisotropic Inhomogeneous Poroelastic Inclusions: With Application to Underground Energy Related Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding the stress change in a reservoir generated by fluid production/injection is important for field development purposes. In this paper, we provide the Eshelby solution for stress and strain distribution inside ...
Thermoporoelastic Analysis of Artificially Fractured Geothermal Reservoirs: A Multiphysics Problem
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Geothermal systems are identified as either open-loop system (OLGS) or closed-loop systems (CLGS). In OLGS, fluid is produced from the subsurface, while there might be a concurrent fluid injection into the reservoir. The ...
