Particle Transport Scheme for Embedded Discrete Fracture Models
ECMOR XVII, 2020Summary Embedded Discrete Fracture Models (EDFMs) for fractured porous media are preferable over Discrete Fracture Models if complex fracture geometries are to be fully resolved and the fractures and matrix discretizations are conformal. Lagrangian particle-tracking schemes offer convenient means for solute transport modeling because in EDFM frameworks,

Streamline tracing and applications in embedded discrete fracture models
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2020Abstract Fractures play important role in unconventional resources by influencing the fluid flow pattern underground. Streamline-based flow diagnostic is important to the history matching or operational optimization process of fractured reservoirs.

Modeling Fault Reactivation Using Embedded Discrete Fracture Method
SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2018Abstract The integrity of a geological formation is a primary concern in any underground fluid injection project. Hydraulic pressurization due to injection may reduce fault strength, trigger fault slippage, and cause fault reactivation.

Abstract Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (EDFM) is a promising approach to describe the reservoirs with fractures. Conventional streamline-based inversion method has been limited to the dual-porosity models where the natural fractures are modeled implicitly and flow between matrix blocks is not accounted for.

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.

Multiscale projection-based Embedded Discrete Fracture Modeling approach (F-AMS-pEDFM)
Proceedings, 2016This work presents the formulation of a novel Projection-based Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (pEDFM), and its integration into an algebraic multiscale procedure. Similar to EDFM, pEDFM constructs independent grids for the matrix and fracture domains.

Abstract The streamline based technology has proven to be effective for various subsurface flow and transport modeling problems including reservoir simulation, model calibration and optimization. For naturally fractured systems, current streamline models are well suited for dual porosity single permeability systems because streamlines ...

An efficient embedded discrete-fracture model for 2D anisotropic reservoir simulation
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2019Abstract In this study, we present an embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) for an in-house reservoir simulator that incorporates the effect of each fracture with arbitrary orientations, lengths and fracture conductivities. Instead of using the linear flow approximation for the EDFM, the interflows between local matrix grids and fracture elements ...

Coupled Geomechanics and Flow Simulation for an Embedded Discrete Fracture Model
SPE Reservoir Simulation Symposium, 2013Abstract The effect of geomechanics on fluid flow is more crucial in fractured reservoirs due to presence of fissures, which might be more stress-sensitive than the rock matrix. The flow characteristics of fractures are significantly affected by effective normal stress exerting on them.
