Coupled hydro-mechanical evolution of fracture permeability in sand injectite intrusions

Coupled hydro-mechanical evolution of fracture permeability in sand injectite intrusions

Sandstone “injectite” intrusions are generally developed by the fluidization of weakly cemented sandstones and their subsequent injection into fractured reservoirs. In this work, a continuum coupled hydro-mechanical model TOUGH-FLAC3D is applied to simulate the discrete fracture network in large-sca...
