RESULTS Drilled four wells based on the model, successfully predicting the type and thickness of reservoir facies, enabling the operator to pursue optimal field development strategies with higher confidence in the distribution and connectivity of critical flow units. Modeling reservoir architecture with limited data After successfully developing Cretaceous reservoirs in several northern Kuwait ...

In this paper, decline curve analysis is used for estimating different parameters of bounded naturally fractured reservoirs. This analysis technique is based on rate transient technique, and it is shown that if production rate is plotted against time on a semi-log graph, straight lines are obtained that can be used to determine important parameters of the closed fractured reservoirs. The equati...

Reliable, predictive models to optimize carbonate reservoir performance

Fluid flow modeling of naturally fractured reservoirs remains a challenge because the complex nature fracture systems controlled by various chemical and physical phenomena. A discrete network (DFN) model represents an approach to capturing relationship fractures in system. Topology connectivity aspect planes, which have fundamental role simulation geomaterials involving rock matrix. Therefore, ...

Naturally fractured reservoirs have been a source of challenging issues with regard to field development, well stability, drilling, and enhanced oil recovery, as connected fracture system can totally dominate the flow patterns. Because high degree heterogeneity in characteristics reservoir geomechanics, several mathematical, numerical discretization methods are proposed predict hydrodynamics be...
