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.

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 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 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.

Summary Most unconventional oil and gas reservoirs are known to have several natural fractures in different orientations, which are consistent with the prevailing stresses when they were created. The accurate and efficient modeling of natural and hydraulic fractures presents a significant computational challenge.

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.

The goal of this study is to develop a new model to simulate gas and water transport in shale nanopores and complex fractures. A new gas diffusivity equation was first derived to consider multiple important physical mechanisms such as gas desorption, gas slippage and diffusion, and non‐Darcy flow.
