This book deals exclusively with naturally fractured reservoirs and includes many subjects usually treated in separate volumes. A highly practical edition, Naturally Fractured Reservoirs is written for students, reservoir geologists, log analysts and petroleum engineers.
Geologists, engineers, and petrophysicists concerned with hydrocarbon production from naturally fractured reservoirs will find this book a valuable tool for obtaining pertinent rock data to evaluate reserves and optimize well location and ...
3.4.2.1 Case Study: The Midale Field The Midale oil field, located in Saskatchewan in the northern part of the Williston Basin, illustrates the effects that a well-developed but relatively simple fracture system can have on a reservoir.
Furthermore, the book presents the description of real reservoirs with their field data as the principal goal in the mathematical description of the realistic phenomenology of NFCRs.
Fractured Reservoir Characterization seeks to confront many of these challenges by providing an introduction to the engineering and geological character of naturally fractured reservoirs.
Pressure diffusion equation for fluid flow in porous rocks -- Line source solution for a vertical well in an infinite reservoir -- Superposition and pressure buildup tests -- Effect of faults and linear boundaries -- Wellbore skin and ...
Reservoirs have been identified as being fracture-controlled and great strides have been made in the integration of the work and approaches of the many disciplines needed to work successfully with these reservoirs.
The book updates the reservoir engineer of today with the latest developments in reservoir simulation by combining a powerhouse of theory, analytical, and numerical methods to create stronger verification and validation modeling methods, ...
Several fracture frequency profiles (scanlines) were recorded in the study area to assess the distribution of fractures (Fig. 6). The scanlines were recorded in competent limestone beds of the Middle Darat and Thebes formations.
This is done in Chap. 4, where the evaluation of fractures porosity and permeability, their correlation and the equivalent ideal geometrical models versus those parameters are discussed in great detail.
This book seeks to confront many of these challenges by providing an introduction to the engineering and geological character of naturally fractured reservoirs.
