Oil shale rock mechanics-how to deal with huge changes with grade and temperature?

摘要

1. Analysis of well closure and casing failure even for simple thermal conductivity situations 1.1 Essential for well design at any scale 2. Analysis of the contribution of enhanced convective heat transfer by thermal fracturing 2.1 Essential for deciding on well spacing for commercial operations 3. Analysis of subsidence and retort confinement at large scales 3.1 Essential for design and permitting of operations larger than pilot scale.
