Abstract:
The performance of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs) is controlled by its properties such as fracture properties. In handling naturally fractured reservoirs, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of the properties and the performance characteristics of such system. Characterizing the naturally fractured reservoirs is then a paramount important in optimizing the recovery. Reservoir characterization of naturally fractured reservoirs is different from conventional reservoirs. Not only the intrinsic properties of fractures and matrix have to be characterized, but the interaction between matrix and fractures must also be understood accurately. This paper summarizes the methods used for characterization of simplified models of naturally fractured reservoirs using total reservoir response obtained from well testing.
