Validation of Near-Wellbore Fracture-Network Models With MDT

Abstract: Summary A new approach was attempted to validate the reconstructed internal geometry of a fractured reservoir by reproducing the reservoir dynamic behavior monitored during modular dynamic tests (MDTs). The description of the reservoir fracture network was achieved by integrating relevant data that could be collected from wireline logs, conventional cores, small drilling-mud-loss analysis, and field-scale observations from outcrop analog inspection. Fracture types, properties, and distributio… Show more

“…The following remarks can be made on the accuracy of numerical results of fractures near the wellbore and in the far field. Fracture development in the hydraulic fracturing process can be divided into two types: near-wellbore fractures (within 15 ft (approximately 4.5 m) from the borehole) and far-field fractures (15 ft from the borehole) [14,15]. Because of the stress concentration and other factors, such as drilling, near-wellbore fractures are rather complicated: mode-I, mode-II, and mode-II cracks are all possible, and their path of development is most likely in the form of a curve or 3D surface.…”
