Modelling and discretization of flow in porous media with thin, full-tensor permeability inclusions
Michele Starnoni, Inga Berre, Eirik Keilegavlen +1
When modelling fluid flow in fractured reservoirs, it is common to represent the fracturesas lower-dimensional inclusions embedded in the host medium. Existing discretizationsof fl…
Numerical modelling of convection-driven cooling, deformation and fracturing of thermo-poroelastic media
Ivar Stefansson, Eirik Keilegavlen, Sæunn Halldórsdóttir +1
Convection-driven cooling in porous media influences thermo-poro-mechanical stresses, thereby causing deformation. These processes are strongly influenced by the presence of fractu…
Hydro-mechanical simulation and analysis of induced seismicity for a hydraulic stimulation test at the Reykjanes geothermal field, Iceland
Eirik Keilegavlen, Laure Duboeuf, Anna Maria Dichiarante +8
The hydraulic stimulation of the well RN-34 at the Reykjanes geothermal field in Iceland caused increased seismic activity near the well. Here, we use this as a case study for inve…
Fault slip in hydraulic stimulation of geothermal reservoirs: governing mechanisms and process-structure interaction
Inga Berre, Ivar Stefansson, Eirik Keilegavlen
Hydraulic stimulation of geothermal reservoirs in low-permeability basement and crystalline igneous rock can enhance permeability by reactivation and shear dilation of existing fra…
Numerical modeling of wing crack propagation accounting for fracture contact mechanics
Hau Dang-Trung, Eirik Keilegavlen, Inga Berre
As a consequence of shearing, wing cracks can emerge from pre-existing fractures. The process involves the interaction of sliding of the existing fracture surfaces and the tensile…
Verification benchmarks for single-phase flow in three-dimensional fractured porous media
Inga Berre, Wietse M. Boon, Bernd Flemisch +23
Flow in fractured porous media occurs in the earth's subsurface, in biological tissues, and in man-made materials. Fractures have a dominating influence on flow processes, and the…
