Decoupled velocity formulation for geothermal well and reservoir simulation.

The energy transition is inevitable since approximately two-third of the current global emission is due to energy production. Subsurface can provide a great opportunity for innovative lowcarbon energy solutions such as geothermal energy production, hydrogen storage, carbon capture, and sequestration, etc. Well and borehole operations play an...

Adaptive nonlinear solver for a discrete fracture model in operator-based linearization framework

Simulation of compositional problems in hydrocarbon reservoirs with complex heterogeneous structure requires adopting stable numerical methods that rely on an implicit treatment of the flux term in the conservation equation. The discrete approximation of convection term in governing equations is highly nonlinear due to the complex properties...
