  • Loose coupling method between a stess analysis system and a conventional reservoir simulator
    Patent number: 8965739
    Abstract: Methods for loosely coupling a stress analysis system to a conventional reservoir simulator by adjusting the flow equation of the conventional reservoir simulator. The solution is obtained by using the methods in a loose, iterative coupling system such than when convergence is reached, the results obtained are close to those of the full coupling system. A system for implementing the methods on a digitally readable medium.
    Type: Grant
