Comparison of Different Hydraulic Fracture Growth Models Based on a Carbonate Reservoir in Iran
There has been little interest in the application of hydraulic fracture treatment in Iranian oil fields, thanks to the primarily suitable production rates of the vast oil fields. In this paper, hydraulic fracturing treatment was simulated by different models for a carbonate reservoir in the southwest of Iran. Suitable pay zones were nominated based on the lithology, water-oil saturation, geomec...
متن کاملHydraulic Fracturing Simulation for Fracture Networks
The term ‘Unconventional Reservoirs’ is used in the oil and gas industry for hydrocarbon reservoirs that have very low permeability in the magnitude of microdarcy (μd) and therefore rely on artificially introducing pathways for fluids and gases, commonly by using hydraulic fracturing techniques, to enable economic production. This approach of using fracturing stimulation campaigns is also incre...
متن کاملDiscrete Fracture Modeling of Hydraulic Stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal Systems
Hydraulic stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal Systems is performed by injecting water at high pressure into low permeability, typically crystalline, rock. In most cases, the elevated pore pressure induces slip on preexisting fractures, resulting in an increase in permeability. This process involves interacting hydraulic, thermal, mechanical, and thermoelastic processes. It is complicated by the ...
متن کاملEffect of Hydraulic Fracture on the Fractured Reservoir Based on the Connection with Natural Fractures
Hydraulic fracturing in the fractured reservoirs plays a significant impact on the production rate. In this study, the hydrostatic condition is taken into account, the hydraulic fracturing operation was applied in every direction usinga written distinct element code. In each direction the hydraulic fracture is applied with different lengths and in each level the amount of production is predicte...
متن کاملFeasibility Study of Network Hydraulic Fracture Applied to the Fissured Competent Sand Oil Reservoir
Chang 8 oil deposit, developed in Hohe and Jihe oil fields at the southern Yi-Shan Slop of Ordos Basin, is regarded as a kind of typical sand reservoir formation with super-low porosity, poor permeability, strong anisotropy as well as locally natural faults and fractures. The previous studies believed that matrix reservoir has a good permeability, whereas fracture reservoir has a reverse manner...
