A Fast EDFM Method for Production Simulation of Complex Fractures in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
SPE/AAPG Eastern Regional Meeting, 2018Abstract 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 Interwell Interference Due to Complex Fracture Hits in Eagle Ford Using EDFM
International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2019Abstract 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 ...

Abstract The geometry of the subsurface hydraulic fracture is complicated which deviates from the conventional single pan shape. It can be in multi-wing shape by the formation heterogeneity and/or 3D fracture networks caused by the pre-exising natural fractures.

An EDFM-MINC Model for Capturing Near-Fracture Physics in Unconventional Reservoirs
SPE Reservoir Simulation ConferenceAbstract 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 ExhibitionAbstract 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.

Application of proxy-based MCMC and EDFM to history match a shale gas condensate well
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2018Abstract 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.

Abstract Fractured reservoirs present unique challenges in the oil and gas sector due to their complex genesis and fluid flow dynamics. Modeling these reservoirs requires overcoming various hurdles, including characterizing complex fracture networks, understanding dual-porosity flow dynamics, and managing scale dependencies.

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition
Abstract Safe, economic development of subsurface hydrocarbon resources, as well as emerging hydrogen or CO2 storage projects, relies on accurate characterization of reservoir fractures and faults. The discrete fracture model (DFM) captures low-conductivity barrier faults with high fidelity but becomes computationally expensive for many ...
