Seepage-Stress Analysis on Oilfield Based on Numerical Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using the finite element software ABAQUS, the stress field in one low permeability reservoir is investigated. Genetic algorithm is used to determine the initial stress boundary of the reservoir, seepage-stress element CPE4P in ABAQUS is used to model the rock and beam element B31 is used to model the well group. The numerical simulation results indicate that casing damage can be predicted effectively using the method in this paper.
