Here, a numerical procedure that performs thermo-hydro-mechanical simulations, in an efficient way, is presented. This procedure relies on an iterative coupling between a thermal reservoir simulator based on a finite volume method and a geomechanical one based on a finite element method. A strong feature of this procedure is that it allows handling the case when the reservoir simulations are performed using Adaptive Mesh Refinements (AMR). It thus provides an accurate description of the steam front evolution and allows taking geomechanical effects into account without performing the geomechanical simulations on a refined mesh. The efficiency of this coupling procedure is illustrated on a synthetic but realistic SAGD test case. 6 Oil and Gas Science and Technology 67 ARTICULO Guy, N. 53106 Enchéry, G. 53108 Renard, G. 12681 187659 187659 0 0 0 0 255478 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-06 200059794 0 200059794 2026-03-06 00:17:37 2026-03-06 ARTICULO
