Abstract

A rigorous fully implicit numerical reservoir simulator has been developed to model single phase fluid flow in deformable naturally fractured or carbonate reservoirs. The present formulation represents a great improvement over existing simulators for fractured reservoirs in that many of the limiting assumptions have been removed. The interactions of rock stress, matrix pore pressure, and fracture pressure; bulk rock volumetric expansion effects; unsteady matrix-fracture flow; vug-matrix and vug-fracture flow; and the matrix and fracture anisotropic flow have been rigorously modelled. A field example is used to demonstrate how a detailed geometrical description of the fractured blocks may be obtained by matching the simulated pressure transient behavior of the well test data.
