Developing a 3D stochastic discrete fracture network model for hydraulic analyses
Fluid flow in jointed rock mass with impermeable matrix is often controlled by joint properties, including aperture, orientation, spacing, persistence and etc. On the other hand, since the rock mass is made of heterogeneous and anisotropic natural materials, geometric properties of joints may have dispersed values. One of the most powerful methods for simulation of stochastic nature of geometri...
متن کاملFlow simulation in 3D Discrete Fracture Networks
Natural fractured media are characterized by their diversity of structures and organization. Numerous studies in the past decades have evidenced the existence of characteristic structures at multiple scales [1]. At fracture scale, the aperture distribution is widely correlated and heterogeneous. Fractures themselves have widely varying sizes with no obvious dominating or characteristic scale. A...
متن کاملPerformance-based fractal fracture model for complex fracture network simulation
The paper presents a novel hydraulic fracturing model for the characterization and simulation of the complex fracture network in shale gas reservoirs. We go beyond the existing method that uses planar or orthogonal conjugate fractures for representing the ‘‘complexity’’ of the network. Bifurcation of fractures is performed utilizing the Lindenmayer system based on fractal geometry to describe t...
متن کاملNew Concept Discrete Fracture Network Model Simulator, GeoFlow, and Three Dimensional Channeling Flow in Fracture Network
Discrete fracture network (DFN) model simulations, where a fracture network can have a natural heterogeneity, is one of the most effective approaches in fluid flow analyses for naturally fractured and enhanced geothermal reservoirs. In the DFN model simulations, fractures are modeled by a pair of parallel smooth plates although real fractures have rough surfaces. Numerous field and laboratory o...
متن کاملA Streamline Approach to Retain Extensive Discrete Fracture Networks from a Detailed Static Fracture Model
When building a model of a naturally fractured reservoir, it is not sufficient to produce a highly detailed static model, it is also necessary that such a model can be flow simulated so that the production response given by the flow simulator can be compared to production history of the field. The technique that we present here takes a highly detailed static model of fractures, and identifies t...
