Model for coupled porous flow and geomechanics for subsurface simulation

A method for generating a three-dimensional geomechanical model of a subsurface volume is provided. The geomechanical model may be used to predict changes in geomechanical stress in the grid (such as a three-dimensional unstructured grid), which may be caused by extraction from or injection into the reservoir. The geomechanical model may be generated by solving, in combination, the finite element method at the vertices of a respective cell in the grid for momentum balance and the finite volume method at the center of the respective cell for mass balance. In this way, one or both of rock displacement or pore flow may be solved using the geomechanical model.

Streamline based creation of completion design

Using a reservoir simulator, a reservoir model state is obtained. The reservoir model state is used to trace streamlines to obtain streamline trajectories and detect fluid fronts along the streamlines. Using the streamline trajectories, the streamlines are connected to wells. The streamlines are grouped for multiple granularity levels, into groups to obtain a grouping hierarchy. Through the granularity levels of the grouping hierarchy, fluid front time of flights are determined for the groups, and target flowrates assigned to completion devices based on the fluid front time of flights to obtain target flow rates. A completion design is presented that incorporates the target flowrates.

Reduced pressure drop cold plate transition

A cold plate apparatus that has an outlet plenum leading to an outlet opening includes an outlet transition that connects the outlet opening to the outlet plenum. The outlet transition defines a smoothly curving flow path from a direction along a long dimension of the outlet plenum, which is parallel to a plane defined by the outlet opening, to a direction along a centerline of the outlet opening, which is at an angle from the plane defined by the outlet opening. The outlet transition provides a smooth variation of cross-sectional area from the outlet plenum to the outlet opening.
