Consideration of the geomechanical state of a fractured porous reservoir in reservoir simulation modelling

Article preview

This paper presents reservoir simulation modeling of a hydrocarbon accumulation with a fractured porous reservoir, incorporating the geomechanical effects of fracture closure during variations in formation pressure. The fracture permeability parameter is derived from the impact of stress on fracture walls. The fracturing parameter is determined based on 3D seismic data analysis. A permeability reduction model is implemented in the tNavigator reservoir simulation platform. The proposed approach improves the convergence of formation pressure dynamics in well data while maintaining flow rate and water cut adaptation accuracy. This results in enhanced formation pressure prediction and optimization of the pressure maintenance system.
