Analytical Solutions and type curves for the constant rate radial flow of fluid in both conventional and naturally fractured reservoirs including the effect of wellbore phase redistribution are presented. An automated procedure for non-linear least square minimization using the analytical solutions and their derivatives with respect to the unknown parameters developed to analyze the pressur...

This paper presents the results of a study with the main aim of investigating the effect of considering the pressure sensitivity of the natural fractures of a fissured formation on the transient pressure analysis of well tests. Two motivations for this study were as follows. First, many (or most in some cases) of the producing reservoirs (geothermal and petroleum) are naturally fractured, showi...

Abstract Modelling of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFR’s) is a very challenging task. NFR’s are often simulated using the dual-porosity (DP) model, which requires significantly lower computational time and less simulation cost compared with fine-grid modelling. However, DP model unable to capture transient effect, saturation front, its tendency overestimate predicted oil recovery, as invaded...

Seismic fluid identification plays an important role in reservoir exploration and development. Natural vertical fractures are common carbonate rocks, it is essential to consider fracture-induced anisotropy the of fractured reservoirs. We have developed a novel Bayesian elastic impedance variation with angle azimuth (EIVAZ) inversion approach for directly estimating fracture indicator (FFI), whi...
