Effective permeability of deformation bands in fault damage zones – Can deformation bands reduce the risk of fault leakage?
Berge, Runar Lie; Gasda, Sarah Eileen; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Sandve, Tor Harald (SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter, 2021)Faults are major geological structures that can dominate the flow paths in subsurface reservoirs by, e.g., connecting otherwise unconnected layers. In CO2 storage sites where the faults act as the main structural trap, the ... -
Finite volume discretization for poroelastic media with fractures modeled by contact mechanics
Berge, Runar Lie; Berre, Inga; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Wohlmuth, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A fractured poroelastic body is considered where the opening of the fractures is governed by a nonpenetration law, whereas slip is described by a Coulomb‐type friction law. This physical model results in a nonlinear ... -
Implementation of mixed-dimensional models for flow in fractured porous media
Keilegavlen, Eirik; Fumagalli, Alessio; Berge, Runar Lie; Stefansson, Ivar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Models that involve coupled dynamics in a mixed-dimensional geometry are of increasing interest in several applications. Here, we describe the development of a simulation model for flow in fractured porous media, where the ... -
Numerical methods for coupled processes in fractured porous media
Berge, Runar Lie (Doctoral thesis, 2019-11-15)Numerical simulations have become essential in the planning and execution of operations in the subsurface, whether this is geothermal energy production or storage, carbon sequestration, petroleum production, or wastewater ... -
PorePy: an open-source software for simulation of multiphysics processes in fractured porous media
Keilegavlen, Eirik; Berge, Runar Lie; Fumagalli, Alessio; Starnoni, Michele; Stefansson, Ivar; Varela, Jhabriel; Berre, Inga (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Development of models and dedicated numerical methods for dynamics in fractured rocks is an active research field, with research moving towards increasingly advanced process couplings and complex fracture networks. The ... -
Reactivation of fractures in subsurface reservoirs - A numerical approach using a static-dynamic friction model
Berge, Runar Lie; Berre, Inga; Keilegavlen, Eirik (Chapter; Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Fluid-induced slip of fractures is characterized by strong multiphysics couplings. Three physical processes are considered: Flow, rock deformation and fracture deformation. The fractures are represented as lower-dimensional ...
