A simplified model was employed to develop mathematically equations that describe the unsteadystate behavior of naturally fractured reservoirs, The analysis resulted in an equation of flow of radial symmetry whose solution, for the infinite case, is identical in form and function to that describing the unsteady-state behavior of homogeneous reservoirs. Accepting the assumed model, for all pract...

Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) represent an important percentage of worldwide hydrocarbon reserves and production. The performance naturally gas condensate would be more complicated regarding both rock fluid effects. In contrast to the dual-porosity model, dual-porosity/dual-permeability (dual-permeability) model is considered as a modified in which flow wellbore occurs through matrix fra...

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...

The objective of this work is to innovatively apply the boundary element method (BEM) as a general modeling strategy deal with complicated reservoir problems, especially those related heterogeneity and fracture systems, which are common challenges encountered in practice engineering. transient flow behaviors reservoirs containing multi-scale heterogeneities enclosed by arbitrarily shaped bounda...

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...

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...
