Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book presents a detailed model for simulating hydraulic stimulation in unconventional oil, gas, and geothermal reservoirs. The model focuses on coupling fluid flow with geomechanical stress in complex discrete fracture networks (DFNs). Key themes include: The role of new versus preexisting fractures in stimulation. Complexity of fracture networks in unconventional reservoirs. Numerical modeling techniques that efficiently capture induced stresses and reservoir heterogeneity. Integration of novel and existing computational techniques for realistic simulation of stimulation processes.
