Characterizing fracture and matrix heterogeneities in tight gas fields

Flow simulations using discrete fracture network models and full-field continuum modeling helped explain extremely variable well performance in the Waterton complex, Western Canada. To determine why some wells penetrated more permeable fractures than others, a full reinterpretation of the geophysica...

Zusammenfassung:Flow simulations using discrete fracture network models and full-field continuum modeling helped explain extremely variable well performance in the Waterton complex, Western Canada. To determine why some wells penetrated more permeable fractures than others, a full reinterpretation of the geophysical, structural, stress, matrix and dynamic data sets was carried out.
