  • LOOSE COUPLING METHOD BETWEEN A STESS ANALYSIS SYSTEM AND A CONVENTIONAL RESERVOIR SIMULATOR
    Publication number: 20120041729
    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.
