Fractured reservoirs with fracture corridors

Geophysical Prospecting, 2010
ABSTRACTOutcrop studies reveal a common occurrence of tabular zones of significantly‐increased fracture intensity affecting otherwise well‐lithified rocks. These zones, called fracture corridors, can have a profound effect on multi‐phase fluid flow in the subsurface.

Fractured-Reservoir Modeling and Interpretation

SPE Journal, 2014
SummaryFractures are common features of many well-known reservoirs. Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) consist of fractures in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks (matrix). Faults in many naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs often have high-permeability zones and are connected to numerous fractures with varying conductivities.

Detection and Characterization of Fractures in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2000
Abstract Imaging log, sonic log, optical microscopy, NMR, MRI, and tomography have greatly enhanced the possibility of measuring fracture geometric characteristics. However, the fracture hydraulic width and permeability can only be evaluated from dynamic data revealing production or adsorption along the wellbore.

Hydraulic-Fracture Propagation in a Naturally Fractured Reservoir

SPE Production & Operations, 2010
Summary We present the results of numerical modeling that quantify the physical mechanisms of mechanical activation of a natural fault because of contact with a pressurized hydraulic fracture (HF). We focus on three stages of interactions: HF approaching, contact, and subsequent infiltration of the fault.

Reservoir Characterization for Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2000
Abstract Reservoir characterization and simulation modeling of naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) presents unique challenges that differentiate it from conventional, single porosity continuum reservoirs. Not only do the intrinsic characteristics of the fractures, as well as the matrix, have to be characterized ...

Fracture Porosity of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

Proceedings of First International Oil Conference and Exhibition in Mexico, 2006
Abstract The storage capacity ratio, ω, measures the flow capacitance of the secondary porosity and the interporosity flow parameter, λ, is related to the heterogeneity scale of the system. Currently, both parameters λ and ω are obtained from well test data by using the conventional semilog analysis, type-curve matching or the TDS ...
