... can be incorporated into the dual porosity model. Hence, the dual porosity model can retain the real fracture system characteristics. Expelling oil from matrix blocks into fractures based on water imbibition leaves behind significant amounts of oil in the matrix blocks in the form of residual oil...

...Flow Model II This model treats the entire fracture system and the rock matrix as two separate interacting continua. The fracture system is a compilation of all fractures contained in various grid cells. The multi-level nature of the fracture system will be taken into account by the magnitude...

... Abstract The proper treatment of oil recovery from vugs is an important part of evaluating a triple porosity reservoir. This paper evaluates the rate of oil recovery from isolated vugs, that is vugs that are not connected to the fracture system. Simulations of triple porosity systems are made...

... Abstract Two models are described to simulate the waterflooding of a naturally fractured reservoir. The first is the relatively standard double porosity model in which the matrix is a distributed source to the fracture system. We explicitly describe the influence of the fracture system...
