Coupled hydro-mechanical simulation of wellbore stimulation by Finite Element Analysis is often computationally impractical for use in real-time operations, optimization, uncertainty analysis and other applications required very fast or multiple executions. Reduced Order Model (ROM) as surrogate models are attractive alternatives. The severe nonlinearities stemming from the coupled nature of the physics, the plastic deformations, and the time transient of nature of injection rate and fluid flow necessitate special model order reduction techniques. The formulation, training, and performance of an intrusive ROM for wellbore stimulation will be presented.
