An efficient embedded discrete fracture model based on the unstructured quadrangular grid
Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2021Abstract It is important yet challenging to effectively and accurately predict the recovery of fractured reservoirs. Among numerous fractured reservoir simulation models, the embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) is the most outstanding one for it incorporates the discrete fractures into structured grids of the matrix, which precisely describes the

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.

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 Fluid flow in fractured reservoirs is significantly affected by the effect of geomechanics since fractures can be more stress-sensitive than rock matrix. In this work, we present a flow and geomechanics coupled model for the simulation of fractured reservoirs.

Abstract The wide implementation of hydraulic fracturing in shale reservoirs and the interactions among hydraulic fractures, natural fractures and the shale matrix have brought great challenge for reservoir studies using conventional finite-difference-based reservoir simulators. This work establishes a dynamic approach for the simulation

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 ...

Abstract Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation technique used to improve well productivity index; this technique has been widely applied in unconventional reservoirs (tight gas and tight oil). In this paper we describe a method we developed to couple hydraulic fracture modeling software with the embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM).

Development of an Embedded Discrete Fracture Model for Multi-Phase Flow in Fractured Reservoir
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014Considering the discontinuities of the phase saturations and pressure gradients at the matrix-fracture interface, a modified algorithm for the embedded discrete fracture model is proposed. In this algorithm, the exchange rate between fracture and matrix on two sides of the interface are calculated separately.
