Fractured reservoir distribution characterization using folding mechanism analysis and patterns recognition in the Tabnak hydrocarbon reservoir anticline

Abstract Naturally, fractured reservoirs play a considerable part in the study, production, and development of hydrocarbon fields because most Zagros Basin are naturally fractured. Production from those is usually affected by presence system connected fractures. In this Tabnak field on fold–thrust belt at zone Persian plate has been analyzed facies models, folding mechanism analysis to identify fracture reservoir patterns. The results show flexural fold with similarity some open potential made limestone, shale, clay, anhydrite study area's models. Consequently, stress pattern type issue fold's upper lower layers will be similar. On anticline using image processing techniques MATLAB R2019 software kriging geostatistical methods, surface patterns as block model extended depth. Using results, fractures’ orientation distribution adjacent wells 11, 14, 15 appropriate. also have similarities assessment, well test, mud loss data analysis. These can affect plans’ primary approach drilling horizontal sleep management strategies.
