Predicting Fractured Well Performance in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2013Abstract Multiple hydraulic fracture treatments in the reservoirs with natural fractures create complex fracture networks. Predicting well performance in such a complex fracture network system is an extreme challenge. The statistical nature of natural fracture networks changes the flow characteristics from that of a

Effect of Natural Fractures on Hydraulic Fracture Propagation
SPE European Formation Damage Conference, 2005Abstract Various fracture interaction criteria were reviewed and a systematic study is presented to analyze the effect of natural fractures on hydraulic fracture propagation. From the literature review, the approach of Warpinski and Teufel was adopted to evaluat the fracture propagation that would occur after a hydraulic fracture ...

Hydraulic Fracture Propagation in Pre-Fractured Natural Rocks
SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference, 2011Abstract We conducted a series of hydraulic fracture initiation tests with fractured natural rock samples. The objective is to characterize the interaction between hydraulic fracture initiation and natural fracture infiltration and opening.

Naturally Fractured Reservoir Characterization
2006Naturally fractured reservoirs present unique and specialized challenges to hydrocarbon extraction. Naturally Fractured Reservoir Characterization seeks to confront many of these challenges by providing an introduction to the engineering and geological character of naturally fractured reservoirs. The focus is on understanding fractures in a reservoir –

Numerical results have shown that at high angle of approach and differential stress, it is more likely for the hydraulic fracture to cross the natural fracture, whereas for a case where angle of approach and differential stress are low the hydraulic fracture is more likely to be arrested and then reorient the existing path and propagate through natural
