Waterflooding Under Dynamic Induced Fractures: Reservoir Management and Optimization of Fractured Waterfloods

Abstract: It is well established within the Industry that water injection mostly takes place under induced fracturing conditions. Particularly in low-mobility reservoirs, large fractures may be induced during the field life. This paper presents a new modeling strategy that combines fluid-flow and fracture-growth (fully coupled) within the framework of an existing 'standard' reservoir simulator. We demonstrate the coupled simulator by applications to five-spot pattern flood models, addressing various aspects that often p… Show more

“…However, because of the relatively low accuracy in traditional EDFM, a novel Boundary Element Method (BEM) model with higher early accuracy is used in our model to calculate the geometric factor instead of the average normal distance [30]. Equations (10) and (11) give the final expression.…”

“…(1) Firstly, assume that the fracture propagates in the direction of the maximum principal stress. The preprocessing program includes grid division and fracture division, Figure 1 shows the schematic of a grid-fracture system in which fractures are cut by grid boundary for BEM discussed in Equations ( 10) and (11). To simulate fracture propagation, a slight fracture is connected to the injection well to initialize the water-induced fracture as is shown in Figure 2(a).…”
