Fracture Detection and Numerical Modeling for Fractured Reservoirs [PDF]
Energies, 2019 The subsurface fractures could impact the fluid mechanisms dramatically, which makes the modeling of the hydraulic and natural fractures an essential step for fractured reservoirs simulations. However, because of the complexities of fracture patterns and distributions, it is difficult to detect and quantify the fracture networks.
