... fracture permeabilities and the matrix-fracture shape factors. We exploit certain similarities between this task and the problem of image classification and adopt several best practices from the state-of-the-art CNNs used for image classification. By running a sensitivity study, we identify several key...

... and equivalent DPDK models show dependence on fracture geometry, but the DPDK models predict much higher rates. Fine scale and equivalent DPDK models agree reasonably for gravity drainage. These findings are explained by analyzing the matrix-fracture flows, and implications on efforts to improve shape factors...

... distribution on matrix-to-fracture fluid transfer is revealed by shape factor distribution. They are upscaled with superior accuracy from a detailed Discrete Fracture Network Model (DFN) sector model, where orthogonal hydraulic fractures are explicitly discretized. With the occurrence of nano-pores in shale...
