چکیده
La caractrisation et la simulation dynamique des rservoirs naturellement fracturs ont bnfici d'avances importantes ces dernires annes. Toutefois, l'ingnieur rservoir reste confront la difficult de paramtrer le modle quivalent double porosit utilis pour reprsenter de tels rservoirs. En particulier, les permabilits de fracture quivalentes et les dimensions du bloc matriciel quivalent ne peuvent pas tre facilement dduites de l'observation des images complexes de rseaux naturels de fractures. Cet article dcrit une technique nouvelle et systmatique pour calculer ces paramtres quivalents. Les rsultats de sa mise en Ïuvre au moyen d'un logiciel spcifique dmontrent sa validit et son efficacit pour l'tude de cas de champ. Un tenseur des permabilits de fracture quivalentes est dduit de calculs d'coulements stationnaires et monophasiques dans le rseau rel de fractures, ce dernier tant assimil un rseau 3D de rsistances et soumis des conditions aux limites spcifiques. Les dimensions du bloc quivalent dans chaque couche sont obtenues rapidement par identif ication d'une fonction gomtrique reprsentative d'un dplacement capillaire. La mthodologie a t valide par comparaison avec des simulations maillage fin ralises au moyen d'un simulateur de rservoir conventionnel. Puis, une image complexe d'affleurements d'une formation de grs a t traite titre de dmonstration. L'outil innovant associ cette mthodologie donne la possibilit l'ingnieur rservoir de construire un modle double porosit qui reproduit de faon plus fidle le comportement hydraulique du milieu rel fractur.

Simulation and Assessment of Surfactant Injection in Fractured Reservoirs: A Sensitivity Analysis of some Uncertain Parameters
Fracture reservoirs contain most of the oil reserves of the Middle East. Such reservoirs are poorly understood and recovery from fractured reservoirs is typically lower than those from conventional reservoirs. Many efforts have been made to enhance the recovery and production potential of these reservoirs. Fractured reservoirs with high matrix porosity and low matrix permeability need a seconda...
متن کاملA Fully Integrated Approach for Better Determination of Fracture Parameters Using Streamline Simulation; A gas condensate reservoir case study in Iran
Many large oil and gas fields in the most productive world regions happen to be fractured. The exploration and development of these reservoirs is a true challenge for many operators. These difficulties are due to uncertainties in geological fracture properties such as aperture, length, connectivity and intensity distribution. To successfully address these challenges, it is paramount to im...
متن کاملThe Investigation of Numerical Simulation Software for Fractured Reservoirs
Based on percolation mechanism of fractured reservoirs and simulation technique, the numerical simulation software of fractured reservoirs has been developed on PC-Linux environment, which is on the basis of DQHY simulator of three dimensions and three phases. It can treat dual-porosity/singlepermeability and dual-porosity/dual-permeability model. The results of examples indicate that the perfo...
متن کاملCoupling Geomechanics and Transport in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
Large amounts of hydrocarbon reserves are trapped in naturally fractured reservoirs which arechallenging in terms of accurate recovery prediction because of their joint fabric complexity andlithological heterogeneity. Canada, for example, has over 400 billion barrels of crude oil in fracturedcarbonates in Alberta, most of this being bitumen of viscosity greater than 106 cP in the GrosmontFormat...
متن کاملInvestigation of Underground Gas Storage in a Partially Depleted Naturally Fractured Gas Reservoir
In this work, studies of underground gas storage (UGS) were performed on a partially depleted, naturally fractured gas reservoir through compositional simulation. Reservoir dynamic model was calibrated by history matching of about 20 years of researvoir production. Effects of fracture parameters, i.e. fracture shape factor, fracture permeability and porosity were studied. Results show...
متن کاملPermeability upscaling in fractured reservoirs using different optimized mother wavelets at each level
We use a multi-resolution analysis based on a wavelet transform to upscale a 3D fractured reservoir. This paper describes a 3D, single-phase, and black-oil geological model (GM) that is used to simulate naturally-fractured reservoirs. The absolute permeability and porosity of GM is upscaled by all the possible combinations of Haar, Bior1.3, and Db4 wavelets in three levels of coarsening. The ap...
