Basic concepts (as how I interpret it):
• Fluid-flow (injection programmes)
• Saturation, pressure, permeability (Eclipse, Tempest, VIP)
• Geomechanics (well design, seal integrity)
• Stress, strain (Abacus, Diana, Elfen, FLAC/UDEC)
• Rock physics and petro-physics
• Link mechanical and fluid properties to geophysical attributes
• Geophysics (seismics)
• Image structure, fluid volumes and stress/strain state

Effective stress concept:
• Change in pore pressure (DP)
• Effective stresses (D)
• Total stresses (D)
• Assumed that total vertical stress is constant
• Weight of the overburden
• Assumption fails when stress arching develops
• Change in pore pressure often leads to change in horizontal total stress
• So it can be difficult to predict stress evolution

Current challenges
• Consistent method to handle anisotropy, fluid and stress effects
• Need better rock physics models for multiphase fluids and patchy saturation
• Need significantly more data sampling shallower depths between reservoir and surface
• Need to improve consistency:
• Fractures and joints – we are attempting to resolve with GESER industry funded
consortium
• Scaling (static measurements to dynamic measurements) – significant knowledge gaps,
but can apply site specific empirical relationships
• Microseismic and fracture modelling
• Have developed some simple approaches that are qualitatively helpful
• Seek to enhance FE continuum approach (can be quite complex)
• Explore DEM approach – focus on linking microseismic to fracture development

Bigger challenges
• History match fluid-flow and geomechanical simulation models
• Larger database of rock and petro-physical properties:
• Systematic approach to build geomechanical models
• Constitutive models (ie material properties)
• Structure (ie geometry)
• Meshing (ie gridding)
• Calibration of the models to work towards more accurate quantitative
prediction
