abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Coupled flow- and rock mechanics simulations are necessary to
achieve sufficient understanding and reliable production forecasts in many reservoirs, especially those containing weak or moderate strength rock. Unfortunately these runs are in general significantly more demanding with respect
to computing times than stand-alone flow simulations. A scheme is presented
whereby the number of needed rock mechanics simulations in such a setting can
be reduced to a minimum. The scheme is based on constructing optimal input
for flow simulations from a few rock mechanics runs. Results obtained with the
scheme are at least as accurate as traditional coupled runs, but computations
are considerably faster, often as much as two orders of magnitude.</p>},
