... Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs), aiming to reduce uncertainty in reserves calculations and risks on decision-making for wells lacking core data information. The purpose is to predict "m" with limited measurements by machine learning models trained with core data and special logs from key wells. Different...

... Abstract This study introduces a radial space-time fractional-diffusion (ST-FD) model, now adapted for Laplace space. This model incorporates dual porosity factors and, when applied to well tests in naturally fractured reservoirs, addresses the effects of rock heterogeneity in fractured...

.... The shape factor σ used to compute the matrix-fracture transfer in the DPDK model was derived using a uniform fracture spacing assumption ( Lim and Aziz 1995 ; Hui et al. 2013 ). The expression is given by, Abstract Accurate evaluation of recovery mechanisms in fractured reservoirs is challenging...

... Abstract Many carbonate reservoirs are fractured. Injection of EOR agents (miscible gases or surfactant solutions) into fractured reservoirs leads to flow through the fractures and bypassing of the matrix. These fluids can be directed into the matrix if the fluids are injected...

... Abstract Fractured reservoirs, be it naturally fractured ones or hydraulically fractured, are an important asset class of hydrocarbons. In naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) and unconventional reservoirs (UCRs) with hydraulic fractures, the rock matrix and fractures exhibit a large contrast...

... Abstract Successful implementation of a recovery project in a fractured reservoir requires that the matrix fracture mass transfer is well understood. As a consequence, several processes involved in the mass transfer have been widely studied along time on account of its impact on the fractured...

... Abstract Numerical simulation of flow and mass transfer in fractured reservoir is challenging due to the complexity of the fracture networks. To handle the geological complexity, dual-porosity models are often used to approximate such reservoir settings. In dual-porosity models, it is assumed...

... in accuracy due to its limited quality. An alternative approach is to use production data and characterize the fractures through history matching. However, there are a couple of challenges for fractured reservoir history matching. We will expand from two perspectives: the forward model and the history...

...Introduction Abstract A key reservoir management guideline for a water driven, naturally fractured reservoirs is to minimize water production. Water breakthrough is undesirable as it drastically reduces oil production rate because of unfavorable mobility ratio and lower oil recovery due...

... at the lab-scale in this work to enhance oil recovery from fractured reservoirs. The miscibility of the gas with a model oil (decane with naphthenic acid) is varied by enriching the methane with ethane. Mobility of the gas is decreased by incorporating the gas in foam or glycerol-alternating-gas floods...
