...Najrul Haque; Anugrah Singh; Ujjwal K. Saha The study of fluid flow through fractured porous media has drawn immense interest in the fields of soil hydrology, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and others. In this work, a low-cost fractured micromodel with regular pore geometry is fabricated...

...Hossein Jahediesfanjani; Faruk Civan Coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs are characterized as naturally fractured, dual porosity, low permeability, and water saturated gas reservoirs. Initially, the gas, water, and coal are at thermodynamic equilibrium under prevailing reservoir conditions. Dewatering...

...Tsuyoshi Ishida; Qu Chen; Yoshiaki Mizuta; Jean-Claude Roegiers Cubical granite specimens were fractured by borehole pressurization of 1 cP water, 80 cP oil and via a urethane sleeve. Viscous oil tends to generate thick and planar cracks with few branches, while water tends to generate thin...

... and their analysis becomes a problem. The paper presents mathematical models of the pressure-volume behavior for two different possible failures around the casing shoe, annular crack (cement-rock parting) and formation fracture. The study submits that these two failure modes would control abnormal LOT patterns...
