A coupled reservoir-geomechanics model is developed to simulate the enhanced production phenomena in both heavy-oil reservoirs (northwestern Canada) and conventional oil reservoirs (i.e., North Sea). The model is developed and implemented numerically by Fully coupling an extended geomechanics model to a two-phase Reservoir flow model. Both the enhanced production and the ranges Of the enhanced zone are calculated, and the effects of solid pro- Duction on oil recovery are analyzed.
