Advanced Geomechanics Fracture & Reservoir Application Consortium (AGFRAC)
Dr. Kan Wu
OUR VISION
This consortium strives to model, understand, and quantify rock mechanics, fluid flow, and their interaction in porous media for petroleum reservoir development, carbon storage, and geothermal development:
​
-
To develop techniques for maximizing the economics of
resource exploitation -
To promote safety in subsurface engineering systems
-
To contribute to interdisciplinary research
OBJECTIVES FOR THE
NEXT THREE YEARS
-
Understand mechanisms of strain/strain rate responses during stimulation and production for completion and well spacing optimization.
-
Develop theories/models/tools for automatic and real-time data interpretation for distributed fiber optic strain measurements.
-
Understand complex physics of fracture propagation and fracture interactions between parent and child wells.
