The geomechanical response of a porous reservoir due to injection of fluid can result from a complex interplay between the changes in porepressure and temperature near the wellbore. As a result, predictions are usually made using either simplified analytical models, which may apply unrealistic assumptions in order to produce a tractable model, or detailed numerical simulations that can be computationally expensive.
