A Continuous Projection-Based EDFM Model for Flow in Fractured Reservoirs
SPE Journal, 2023Summary Various researchers have evaluated different methods of modeling fractured reservoirs accurately and efficiently. Of these methods, the embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) is one of the most popular because it does not require the mesh for the simulation domain to conform to the orientation of the natural fractures.

EDFM-AI for Calibration of Hydraulic and Natural Fracture Geometry
57th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, 2023ABSTRACT Due to highly uncertain nature of unconventional reservoirs and difficult monitoring of the engineering effectiveness, a reliable, accurate, and efficient reservoir model calibration workflow is essential to help operators understand/plan their assets.

eDFM – Web Based Design for Manufacturability
SMTA International, 2000ABSTRACT Design for Manufacturability (DFM) is a critical success factor. When properly implemented and executed, DFM will ensure ease of assembly. Lack of a robust DFM capability and culture will, more than likely, result in design for failure.

Automatic Calibration of Complex 3D Discrete Fracture Networks using EDFM-AI
International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2022Abstract In the realm of shale reservoir development and modelling, the problems of completion evaluations and long-term well performances are particularly important but highly challenging. Without suitable measurement metrics of completion designs and production potential, the operators have limited ability to quantify and optimize the ...

A Coupled XFEM-EDFM Numerical Model For Hydraulic Fracture Propagation
Proceedings, 2018Summary Fracture propagation (FP) occurs in various applications including hydraulic fracturing, underground disposal of liquid waste, in-situ stress estimation, and the failure of dams due to underwater cracks. This work develops a numerical model of the hydraulic fracturing process that is widely applied to the extraction of natural gas from shale ...

XFEM-EDFM-MINC for Coupled Geomechanics and Flow in Fractured Reservoirs
Proceedings, 2016Unconventional reservoirs are often naturally and hydraulically fractured with characteristically small pores and low permeability within the matrix. The underlying fracture networks can have a wide range of length scales and complex geometries. While hydraulic fractures may be propped, natural fractures are predominantly supported by pore pressure.

SPE Western Regional Meeting, 2022
Abstract Natural fracture systems comprise numerous small features and relatively few large ones. At field scale, it is impractical to treat all fractures explicitly. We represent the largest fractures via Embedded Discrete Fracture Modeling (EDFM) and account for smaller ones using a dual-porosity, dual-permeability (DPDK) idealized ...

Using Embedded Discrete Fracture Models (EDFMs) to Simulate Realistic Fluid Flow Problems
Proceedings, 2013A large amount of world’s hydrocarbon reserves lies in reservoirs where one of the key features is the presence of a system of fractures spanning different length scales. Fractures may provide ways to drain the matrix, but they also drive gas and water towards wells.
