Inhaltsangabe

Finite Element Programming in Non-linear Geomechanics and Transient Flow delivers a textbook reference for both students and practitioners alike, with provided codes to understand and modify. Starting with the fundamentals, the reference covers the basics of finite element methods, including coupling geomechanics and transient fluid flow. The next phase moves from theory into practical application from programs Flow3D and Geo3D, utilizing source codes to solve real field challenges. Stability of perforations during oil and gas production, sand production problems, rock failure, casing collapse, and reservoir compaction problems are just some examples.

Next, the reference elevates to hands-on experience, sharing source codes with additional problems engineers can work on independently. This gives students and engineers a starting point to modify their own code in a fraction of the time.

• Helps users understand finite element programs such as Flow3D and Geo3D to solve geomechanics problems, including casing stability, reservoir compaction challenges, and sand production
• Bridges the gap between theory, applications and source codes to help readers develop or modify their own computer programs with provided source codes
• Includes cases studies and practice examples that illustrate real-world applications

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Finite element programs are still a common method for solving petroleum engineering challenges yet creating the program to be applicable for both research and field application can take years. Finite Element Programming in Non-linear Geomechanics and Transient Flow delivers a textbook reference for both students and practitioners alike with provided codes to understand and modify. Starting with the fundamentals, the reference covers the basics of finite element methods including coupling geomechanics and transient fluid flow. The next phase moves from theory into practical application from programs Flow3D and Geo3D and utilizing the source codes to solve real field challenges. Stability of perforations during oil and gas production, sand production problems, rock failure, casing collapse, and reservoir compaction problems are just some examples. Next, the reference elevates to hands-on experience of sharing the source codes with additional problems the engineer can work on independently, giving students and engineers a starting point to modify their own code in a fraction of the time. Supported by a variety of field problems, Finite Element Programming in Non-linear Geomechanics and Transient Flow saves the engineer time and enhances today’s research and field analysis.
