6.5 Numerical Examples with the staggered Newton meth-<br />

ods<br />

We test the four sequential methods based on a staggered Newton approach. We use one<br />

<strong>and</strong> two dimensional oil production problems with water injection <strong>and</strong> overburden.<br />

Case 6.1 Water injection <strong>and</strong> oil production in a 1D poroelastic medium. The driving <strong>for</strong>ce<br />

is due to injection, production, <strong>and</strong> an overburden (the left picture in Figure 6.2).<br />

Case 6.2 Water injection <strong>and</strong> oil production in a 2D poroelastic medium. The compaction<br />

<strong>and</strong> dilation of the reservoir occur due to production of oil <strong>and</strong> injection of water,<br />

respectively (the right picture in Figure 6.2).<br />
