... of some logging tools, and the critical role of natural fractures. The reservoir is defined as a low matrix porosity and permeability sands, with potential diagenesis processes caused by possible fluid movement through channels, leading to either an increase or a decrease of secondary porosity...

... flow process, geomechanics effects, and matrix shrinkage in order to evaluate their influences on reservoir permeability and production performance. The mesh was divided into three different continuums: organic matter, inorganic matter, and natural fractures. Matrix shrinkage was only considered...

... Abstract Natural fractures represent planes of weakness within tight dense reservoirs in Abu Dhabi fields. It is likely that the fractures types, fracture density and orientation will influence hydraulic fractures initiation and propagation. Thus, the interaction between natural fractures...

... fracturing simulation will also consider how hydraulic fractures interact with natural fractures to form a complex fracturing network that can significantly influence total oil production with different water flooding strategies. Finally, an unstructed gridding fracturing model is provided for post-frac...

... recovery process of Low-Permeability Reservoirs. Tight Low-Permeability reservoirs are characterized by natural fractures, hydraulic fractures, and induced fractures by water injection. These fractures may have a significant impact on process performance and ultimate recovery. The interaction between pre...

... there was no indications of any fractures/faults reported, hence our interpretation based on the image log, proved the concept of having the bedding corridors as water pathways ( Fig. 5 ).

... Abstract Anisotropy and heterogeneity in reservoir properties introduce challenges during the development of hydrocarbon reservoirs in naturally fractured reservoirs. In reservoir simulations, grid-block properties are frequently assigned to obtain reasonable history matches. Even...

... Abstract In this paper, we present a new computational framework to simulate reservoirs containing complicated geological and engineering features (for example, faults, induced or natural fractures, and perforations). Unlike traditional computational methods, the new approach does not require...
