... interest from explorationists. Despite their potential, fractured basements present multiple challenges, therefore a thorough basement characterization must be performed before drilling any prospect. When characterizing fractured basements, a key element is to properly describe the fracture network...

... petrophysical interpretations. The calibrated mechanical earth model was used to build an unconventional fracture model (UFM) that captures both stress shadowing effects and interactions with natural fractures. Several challenges were encountered during the UFM modeling efforts. A discrete fracture network (DFN...

... method and discrete fracture network (FEM-DFN) model capable of capturing both two- and three-dimensional phenomena. The methodology employees a unit volume of coal and systematically applies fracture networks of increasing complexity for which the bulk properties are estimated. The end goal...

... Abstract Complex fracture networks are usually created using hydraulic fracturing in tight oil reservoirs. The fracture networks between individual stages are considerably different. It is difficult to characterize individual-stage fractures using rate analysis. The production performance using...

... Semi-analytical modeling is an efficient method to obtain the transient response of fracture network. Since the fracture width is very small compared to the length, most semi-analytical models regard the fracture panel as 1D linear flow with a continuous line source along which the exchange...

... Delineating geometry of natural fractures realistically and understanding fracture stress sensitivity help to optimize well placement and well spacing design in shale gas reservoirs. This paper presents a methodology for building 3D hybrid discrete natural fracture network (DFN) models...

... Abstract An appropriate description of gas transfer from shale matrices to fracture networks is one of the most fundamental issues in shale gas extraction modeling. Existing gas transfer functions can be classified into the following categories: (1) direct single-continuum matrix to fracture...

Gradually, SRV concept is getting more and more popular, and some engineer even use the term volume fracturing or volume...
