A Connectivity-based Hierarchical Model for Naturally Fractured Reservoir Simulation
Naturally fractured reservoirs usually contain multi-scale fractures with a wide range of fracture lengths and various topologies. Modeling of such fractured systems has traditionally followed a multi-scale approach, in which the selection of the numerical models is purely based on the fracture …

Simulating water tracer test in naturally fractured reservoirs using discrete fracture and dual porosity models
A naturally fractured reservoir (NFR) is a reservoir with a connected network of fractures created by natural processes such as diastrophism and volume shrinkage (Ordonez et al. 2001). There are two models to simulate this kind of reservoirs: the discrete fracture model and the dual porosity model. …

Transient Shape Factors for Thermal Flow Simulation in Fractured Reservoirs
The simulation of naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) is an extremely daunting and challenging task. The most important and difficult aspect of modeling a naturally fractured reservoir is the accurate estimation of the fluid exchange between matrix and surrounded fractures, which is modeled via a …

Investigation of changes in permeability due to poro-thermo-elastic effects in enhanced geothermal reservoirs
… of cold water over a longer term in geothermal reservoirs is presented. A hybrid of tectonic simulation and stochastic analysis of field data is utilized to generate the subsurface fracture map of three formations. For this purpose, a geological structure is reconstructed according to its past …

Geomechanical aspects of fracture growth in a poroelastic, chemically reactive environment
… the effective permeability and porosity of the naturally fractured reservoir. However, the competition is trivial in high-permeability rocks. Other factors, such as reservoir boundary condition, layer thickness, subcritical index and pattern development stage, all have considerable impact on …

Heavy Oil Recovery by Gas Assisted Gravity Drainage in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
Most of the consolidated rock reservoirs are to some extent naturally fractured, but when the fractures do not affect the fluid flow, they are not taken in account and the reservoirs can be modelled as conventional reservoirs. However, in some reservoirs the fractures play a large role in the fluid …

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING OF HYDRAULIC AND NATURAL FRACTURE INTERACTIONS AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN RESERVOIR STIMULATION
… of the unconventional and geothermal reservoirs can be increased for economic production by hydraulic fracturing. Natural fractures and other discontinuities are inseparable elements of unconventional reservoir rock masses. During stimulation, hydraulic fractures often interact with …
