Migration tracing and kinematic state concept embedded in discrete fracture network for modeling hydrocarbon migration around unlined rock caverns

This paper presents a numerical method for the modeling of hydraulic confinement and hydrocarbon migration around the unlined rock caverns (URCs) by directly applying distinct fracture network (DFN) concept. A "migration tracing" algorithm for the assessment of hydrocarbon migration around...
