Abstract

Summary

The coupling of the fluid-flow simulator PumaFlow™ and the geomechanical simulator Abaqus™ is implemented with the help of SIMULIA Co-Simulation Services™. It allows to take into account, in the fluid-flow simulator, the variations of porosities and permeabilities with respect to volumetric strain and geomechanical porosity related to stress changes. The method is validated using an analytical solution for a problem of consolidation of a soil layer. Then, the thermal production of a homogeneous heavy-oil reservoir is computed using the co-simulation of the fluid-flow and the geomechanical simulators. This coupling appears more user-friendly and its computing more efficient than the coupling performed a few years ago using shell scripts.
