Nonlocal damage accumulation and fluid flow in diatomites

Grigory Isaakovich Barenblatt, Michiel Bertsch and Carlo Nitsch
Vol. 1 (2006), No. 1, 143–168
DOI: 10.2140/camcos.2006.1.143
Abstract

We investigate a new model for fluid flows in diatomite formations recently introduced by Barenblatt, Patzek, Prostokishin and Silin. We provide numerical evidences of the existence of a sharp front between the damaged and the undamaged rock, and we study the structure of this front. Finally, we simulate some infield operations and we set up a qualitative model control problem to maximize the profit during the oil extraction.
