Projection-based Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (pEDFM)

open access: yesAdvances in Water Resources, 2017
This work presents a new discrete fracture model, namely the Projection-based Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (pEDFM). Similar to the existing EDFM approach, pEDFM constructs independent grids for the matrix and fracture domains, and delivers strictly conservative velocity fields.

The Investigation of Fracture Networks on Heat Extraction Performance for an Enhanced Geothermal System

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Hydraulic fracturing is usually employed to create a complex fracture network to enhance heat extraction in the development of an enhanced geothermal system. The heat extraction depends on the heat conduction from the rock matrix to the flowing fractures

An Integrally Embedded Discrete Fracture Model for Flow Simulation in Anisotropic Formations

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
The embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM), among different flow simulation models, achieves a good balance between efficiency and accuracy. In the EDFM, micro-scale fractures that cannot be characterized individually need to be homogenized into the ...

Well Interference Analysis of Shale Gas Wells Based on Embedded Discrete Fracture Model

open access: yesGeofluids, 2022
Well interference is commonly observed in shale gas reservoirs due to the small well spacing, and it significantly affects the shale gas production. Effective evaluation of well interference is important to increase the gas production of shale gas wells.

Integrating Embedded Discrete Fracture and Dual-Porosity, Dual-Permeability Methods to Simulate Fluid Flow in Shale Oil Reservoirs

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
The oil recovery factor from shale oil remains low, about 5 to 7% of the oil in place. How to increase oil recovery from shale oil reservoirs is attracting more and more attention.

Numerical Study of Elasto-Plastic Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in Deep Reservoirs Using a Hybrid EDFM–XFEM Method

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Rock yielding may well take place during hydraulic fracturing in deep reservoirs. The prevailing models based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) are incapable of describing the evolution process of hydraulic fractures accurately.

An efficient finite difference model for multiphase flow in fractured reservoirs

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2014
Considering the discontinuities of flow phase saturations at the matrix-fracture interfaces, a new difference model is proposed to simulate the multi-phase flow in reservoir with conductive fractures.

The investigation of fracture pattern effect on fluid transport and production prediction in M field

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2021
Due to the discontinuity and multi-scale of fracture porous media (FPM), fluid transport in the naturally fractured reservoir (NFR) is more complex than in the conventional reservoirs.
