A Novel Technique on Microseismic - EDFM Fracture Modeling and Calibration for Complex Fractures in Unconventional Reservoirs

International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2022
Abstract Hydraulic fracture models are useful mechanisms to understand reservoir properties and performance in unconventional reservoirs. The inclusion of field measurements can further refine hydraulic fracture models by providing key information to optimize field development planning.

A Fast EDFM Method for Production Simulation of Complex Fractures in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

SPE/AAPG Eastern Regional Meeting, 2018
Abstract Natural fractures are the main producibility factor in the weathered granite reservoirs (basement rock) and volcanic-rock reservoirs. Production practices show that these reservoirs could have high production rate, but the difference of well productivity between single wells is obvious.

Modeling study of the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical coupling process for EGS based on the framework of EDFM and XFEM

Geothermics, 2021
Abstract Simulation of thermal hydraulic-mechanical (THM) coupling process plays an important role in exploiting the hot dry rock (HDR) resources by enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). At present, the simulations are mostly performed by using the traditional finite element method (FEM) with very dense grids.

Fully-Coupled XFEM-EDFM Hybrid Model for Geomechanics and Flow in Fractured Reservoirs

SPE Reservoir Simulation Conference, 2017
Abstract A mixed discretization approach is propsed to adequately resolve fracture system while accurately and efficiently modeling both flow and geomechanics. An extended finite element method (XFEM) is applied to approximate the geomechanics, and an embedded-discrete-fracture model (EDFM) is used to model the multiphase flow equations.

Coupling EDFM-AI and ESMDA for Dynamic Unconventional Reservoir Characterizations

ADIPEC
Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is the key enabling technology for the economic development of unconventional reservoirs, where well productivity depends on the creation of an extensive, conductive fracture network. Accurate characterization of effective fracture geometry and reservoir properties is essential for predicting well ...

Application of proxy-based MCMC and EDFM to history match a shale gas condensate well

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2018
Abstract History matching is an important process for uncertainty quantification of reservoir performance. Hundreds of reservoir simulation cases, or more, are typically required to sample the posterior probability density function of the uncertain parameters.

An EDFM-MINC Model for Capturing Near-Fracture Physics in Unconventional Reservoirs

SPE Reservoir Simulation Conference
Abstract The Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (EDFM) has been widely used to simulate fluid flow and transport in unconventional reservoirs, such as shale-gas and tight oil formations. However, EDFM struggles to capture early-time matrix-fracture interactions when using coarse grids due to the extremely low matrix permeability in these ...

Edfm-Based Reservoir Simulation for Water Breakthrough Evaluation in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

SPE Advances in Integrated Reservoir Modelling and Field Development Conference and Exhibition
Abstract Water breakthrough is a common challenge in naturally fractured reservoirs in many places. Though reservoir simulation plays a key role for the engineers to understand and evaluate this situation, conventional approaches, such as dual porosity, may lead to excessive computation and unrealistic results.

Modeling Interwell Interference Due to Complex Fracture Hits in Eagle Ford Using EDFM

International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2019
Abstract Shale field operators have vested interest in optimal spacing of infill wells and further fracture optimization, which ideally should have as little interference with the existing wells as possible. Although proper modeling has been employed to show the existence of well interference, few models have forecasted the impact of ...
