    • Numerical simulation of wave-induced fluid flow in digitized porous media using a coupled model with Level Set 

      Zhang, Yang; Nave, Jean-Christophe; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2008)
      In this paper, we develop a unified mathematical model with velocity as the primary variable for modeling the interaction between incompressible fluid and compressible solid. We numerically solve this problem ...

    • Numerical Modeling of Transport Properties and Comparison to Laboratory Measurements 

      Smith, Wave; Zhan, Xin; Schwartz, Larry; Morgan, Frank Dale; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2008-06-10)
      Transport properties, such as permeability and electrical conductivity, are important in many geophysical and petroleum applications. The microstructure of a porous medium and physical characteristics of the solid and ...

    • Hydraulic fracture quality from time lapse VSP and microseismic data 

      House, N. J.; Shemeta, J.; Willis, Mark E.; Willis, Kent M.; Burns, Daniel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2008)
      The ability to produce from low permeability, tight gas reservoirs is directly tied to the ability to repetitively perform successful hydraulic fracturing in a series of closely spaced wells. The key question is whether ...
