Keynote Speaker: Fractured Reservoirs Modeling with Pressure Transient Test Interpretation

Abstract

Naturally fractured reservoirs consist of fractures in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks (matrix). Faults in many naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs often have high-permeability zones and are connected to numerous fractures with varying conductivities. In many naturally fractured reservoirs, faults and fractures can be discrete (rather than a connected network dual-porosity system). To accurately model pressure transient behavior of fractured reservoirs is important to gas and oil reservoirs.
