3-D INDIRECT BOUNDARY ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF A COMPACTING PETROLEUM RESERVOIR
In an infinite or semi infinite domain, a petroleum reservoir is seen as a displacement discontinuity; hence, an efficient indirect boundary element method is used to calculate the stress and displacement changes around a petroleum reservoir. Poroelasticity theory explains well the reservoir behaviour during the depletion process, and finite element method elegantly implements the numerical simulation. A 3D real time evaluation of stresses transfer surrounding the reservoir and ground surface movement during the compaction of a depletion reservoir is achieved, by a coupled indirect boundary element and finite element analysis on the whole domain.
