Abstract
The invention relates to a computer system for modeling an oilfield having a subterranean formation and an underground reservoir therein. The computer system includes a repository storing a geomechanical model for representing at least a portion of the subterranean formation and the reservoir, the geomechanical model comprising a stress equation and a fluid flow equation, a processor and memory storing instructions when executed by the processor comprising functionalities for combining the stress equation and the fluid flow equation into a matrix equation, and modeling the oilfield by solving the stress equation and the fluid flow equation simultaneously.
