Upscaling of Permeability Field of Fractured Rock System: Numerical Examples
When the permeability field of a given porous medium domain is heterogeneous by the existence of randomly distributed fractures such that numerical investigation becomes cumbersome, another level of upscaling may be required. That is such complex permeability field could be relaxed i.e., smoothed by constructing an effective permeability field. The effective permeability field is an approximati...
متن کاملPermeability upscaling in fractured reservoirs using different optimized mother wavelets at each level
We use a multi-resolution analysis based on a wavelet transform to upscale a 3D fractured reservoir. This paper describes a 3D, single-phase, and black-oil geological model (GM) that is used to simulate naturally-fractured reservoirs. The absolute permeability and porosity of GM is upscaled by all the possible combinations of Haar, Bior1.3, and Db4 wavelets in three levels of coarsening. The ap...
متن کاملGlobal Upscaling of Permeability
Traditional upscaling methods depend on local boundary conditions. It is well known that this approach may introduce large errors in the coarse model. The new method is applicable whenever these local methods fail to produce an acceptable permeability field, e.g. upscaling of blocks close to wells and cases involving heterogeneities on the coarse grid block scale. In such cases, it is impossibl...
متن کاملPermeability Estimation from Velocity Anisotropy in Fractured Rock
Cracks in a rock mass subjected to a uniaxial stress will be preferentially closed depending on the angle between the fracture normal and the direction of the applied stress. If the prestress fracture distribution is isotropic, the effective elastic properties of such a material are then transversely isotropic due to the preferred alignment of the cracks. Velocity measurements in multiple direc...
متن کاملUpscaling of Hydraulic Properties of Fractured Porous Media: Full Permeability Tensor and Continuum Scale Simulations
The simulation of flow and transport phenomena in fractured media is a challenging problem. Despite existing advances in computer capabilities, the fact that fractures can occur over a wide range of scales within porous media compromises the development of detailed flow simulations. Current discrete approaches are limited to systems that contain a small number of fractures. Alternatively, conti...
