Abstract: Prediction of Flow From Fractured Reservoirs

By

When two pore types coexist in the same reservoir, one may dominate early Previous HitperformanceNext Hit, while the second one influences long-term results. If fractures, which provide Previous HithighNext Hit flow capacity but limited volume, represent one of the pore systems, the initial Previous HitperformanceNext Hit may look great. If the second pore type has Previous HithighNext Hit porosity and low permeability, the long-term Previous HitperformanceNext Hit could also be very profitable. If the second pore system has no permeability, or contains no hydrocarbon, then the Previous HitperformanceNext Hit declines rapidly, and the field is short-lived. Our objective is to demonstrate how to use available data to predict the Previous HitperformanceTop of your fractured reservoir.
