Abstract Diffusive transport in porous media is a complex process multi-scaled fractured modeling. This paper presents diffusive model for non-Dacian flow naturally reservoir with triple porosity and permeability. To address the non-Darcian behavior associated fluid media, Darcy/Forcheimer equation was used. A point-diffusive obtained from mass conservation Darcy–Forcheimer momentum equation; t...

Aligned vertical fractures introduce velocity anisotropy which is directly related to parameters, such as fracture density, fracture shape and fracture contents. Effective medium models allow us to study qPand qS-wave velocity anisotropy in rocks with aligned vertical fractures, intersecting fracture sets and aligned fractures with smallscale porosity. Spatially varying fracture density distrib...

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...

We developed two new EOS additions to the TOUGH+ family of codes, the RealGasH2O and RealGas. The RealGasH2O EOS option describes the non-isothermal two-phase flow of water and a real gas mixture in a gas reservoir (including a tight/shale gas one). The gas mixture is treated as either a single-pseudocomponent having a fixed composition, or as a multicomponent system composed of up to 9 individ...

Assessing the change in uncertainty in reservoir production forecasts over field lifetime is rarely undertaken because of the complexity of joining together the individual workflows. This becomes particularly important in complex fields such as naturally fractured reservoirs. The impact of this problem has been identified in previous and many solutions have been proposed but never implemented o...

Fluid-solid coupling is ubiquitous in the process of fluid flow underground and has a significant influence on the development of oil and gas reservoirs. To investigate these phenomena, the coupled mathematical model of solid deformation and fluid flow in fractured porous media is established. In this study, the discrete fracture model (DFM) is applied to capture fluid flow in the fractured por...

Conventional fracture closure models typically assume homogeneous formation. This assumption renders complex pressure analysis during shut-in insufficient at present. In this paper, we use a cohesive zone method (CZM)-based finite element model to obtain the and minimum horizontal principal stress of major branch based on fall-off analysis. Key factors including leak-off rate, injection time, a...

Fractured-vuggy reservoirs are a new target in carbonate oil and gas exploration development. Because of well-developed reservoir bodies, including fractures caverns, bottom water invasion can be observed oilfield development, with low utilization efficiency crude the reservoir. Accordingly, this study focused on intersection region S99 unit Tahe fractured-vuggy reservoirs. Based seismic data, ...
