“…Some physical processes alter progressively the near-fracture formation, and we cannot use constant skin factors (associated with numerical PI and/or FCI) to mimic this process. One solution is to use variable numerical PI and/or FCI through a coupled modeling (Ding et al 2010). The coupled modeling is initially developed to update numerical PIs for a full-field coarse grid simulation.…”

“…Besides, a full-field reservoir simulator might not have all the options to simulate detailed near-well/near-fracture physical processes. In order to take into account the transient flow and near-well/near-fracture physics on one side and long-term production behavior on the other side, we propose to use the coupled modeling technique (Ding et al, 2010;2012). A coarse grid model is used for the long-term production simulation, and a detailed near-well/near-fracture model is used to simulate near-well/near-fracture physics.…”

Reservoir simulators remain essential tools for improved reservoir management in order to optimize hydraulic fracturing design in unconventional low permeability reservoirs. However, the commonly-used simulator requires too much computational efforts for the description of local phenomena in the vicinity of the hydraulic fractures, and is practically infeasible for field applications, due to large number of gridblocks involved in a full-field simulation with many multifractured complex wells. Therefore, coarse grid simulations have been widely used, but the techniques for the coarse grid simulation of fractured wells need to be improved. In this paper, we present efficient numerical methods to handle both long-term well performance and transient behaviour simulations for hydraulic fractured wells in unconventional reservoirs with a coarse grid. To simulate correctly the long-term behavior, transimissibilities around the fracture and the connection factor between a fractured block and the fracture are computed, based on a (pseudo)-steady-state near-fracture solution. This approach provides not only an accurate long-term well production calculation, but also a correct pressure distribution in the near-fracture region. In unconventional reservoirs, the transient effects cannot be ignored, due to the very low reservoir permeability and near-well/near-fracture physical processes such as fracturing fluid induced formation damage. In order to handle the transient effect, the coupled modeling technique is used, and its efficiency is demonstrated with a tight-gas reservoir.

Fracturing fluid may jeopardize the production of hydraulically fractured tight gas formations. As capillary forces are acting stronger in low permeable formation, the invaded fracturing fluid is harder to be removed. The increase of water saturation around the fractured well affects the mobility of the gas phase, particularly in tight formations where the gas relative permeability declines strongly when water saturation increases. This damage might greatly reduce the gas production in a very long cleanup period. This paper presents numerical simulation techniques to account for formation damage with both a near-well model and a full-field model for fractured wells in tight formations and to integrate damage effects in a full-field reservoir model through an efficient coupled modelling.

“…Several approaches have been developed to tackle this problem, particularly popular are techniques of domain decomposition [11,12], local-global near-well upscaling [13,14,15], multiscale methods [16] and coupled simulations [10,17,18,19,20,21,22]. In the domain decomposition approach, the field is divided into non-overlapping subdomains classified as near-well zones or reservoir zones.…”
