Abstract:There are some partially penetrating inclined fractures (PPIFs) due to stress interference between fracture networks in multi-stage fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs). It would take tremendous computation time to make flow behavior analysis and well production optimization in numerical simulators. Therefore, it is an extremely urgent task to establish efficient and rigorous models of PPIF networks. In this paper, triangular elements were introduced to characterize the geometry and intersection of PPIFs. Contro… Show more
