A Multiple-Continuum Approach for Modeling Multiphase Flow in Naturally Fractured Vuggy Petroleum Reservoirs
The existence of vugs or cavities in naturally fractured reservoirs has long been observed. Even though these vugs can be largely attributed to reserves of oil, natural gas, and groundwater, few investigations of vuggy fractured reservoirs have been conducted. In this paper, a new multiple-continuum conceptual model is developed, based on geological data and observations of core samples from ca...
متن کاملModeling Multiphase Flow in Naturally Fractured Vuggy Petroleum Reservoirs
A multicontinuum conceptual model is presented and implemented into a three-dimensional, three-phase reservoir simulator, using a generalized multicontinuum modeling approach. The conceptual model, proposed for investigating multiphase flow and displacement through naturally fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs, is based on observation and analysis of geological data, as well as on core example...
متن کاملUnsteady-State Behavior of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
A simplified model was employed to develop mathematically equations that describe the unsteadystate behavior of naturally fractured reservoirs, The analysis resulted in an equation of flow of radial symmetry whose solution, for the infinite case, is identical in form and function to that describing the unsteady-state behavior of homogeneous reservoirs. Accepting the assumed model, for all pract...
متن کاملHydraulic Fracturing of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
A carefully engineered stimulation that makes use of opening mode fractures is an effective way to reduce injection and production impedance and provide better access for the fluid to enter and promote shearing in the main reservoir volume. We present results from field experiments that mapped the fracture geometry for opening mode hydraulic fractures formed in naturally fractured crystalline r...
متن کاملA Novel Integrated Approach to Modelling of Depletion-Induced Change in Full Permeability Tensor of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
More than half of all hydrocarbon reservoirs are Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs), in which production forecasting is a complicated function of fluid flow in a fracture-matrix system. Modelling of fluid flow in NFRs is challenging due to formation heterogeneity and anisotropy. Stress sensitivity and depletion effect on already-complex reservoir permeability add to the sophistication. Horiz...
