Book ChapterDOI
Time-dependent Behavior of Rocks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the time-dependent deformation of a given rock in case of high point loads, aggressive water chemistry, or tensile stresses that lead to timedependent fracture growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Borehole Yield and Hydraulic Fracture Initiation in Poorly Consolidated Rock Strata. Part II. Permeable Media.
Y. Wang,Maurice B. Dusseault +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the stress distributions around a circular well in granular elastoplastic impermeable media are calculated and the final volumetric strain around the borehole is solved as the summation of the incremental strains due to the injection preceding hydraulic fracture, and the existing plastic strains created during borehole excavation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geomechanics of thermal viscous oil production in sandstones
Ali Shafiei,Maurice B. Dusseault +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the definitions, geology and origins, and geographical distribution of the viscous oil resources in the world, and then describe the approaches and physical mechanisms of the major commercialized viscousoil production methods being practiced around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical Modeling of Gravity Drainage in Fractured Porous Media
TL;DR: Gravity drainage is considered to be the main mechanism in primary oil production from naturally fractured reservoirs, but mathematical models to adequately predict the oil recovery and flux rate b... as mentioned in this paper.
