Stress, deformation and flow analysis of oil sand masses under applied load and temperature changes

Stress and temperature changes in oil sand masses associated with oil recovery can give rise to stability and deformation problems. An analytical formulation is developed to analyze such kind of problems and incorporated in the finite element program 'CONOIL II’. Oil sand is a multiphase mater...
