Simulation of Water-Oil flow in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

One of the major problems in the simulation of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs) is calculating the matrix-fracture transfer which governs the dynamic behaviour of the reservoir. Dual Porosity models were introduced to study the flow of fluids through the fracture media. In this research, a reservoir model is simulated with a dual porosity system and compared with a reservoir without a dual porosity system. The results show high permeability and low porosity of fractures in the simulation model whereas the matrix blocks have high porosity and low permeability.
