Fluid flow in naturally fractured reservoirs is often controlled by subseismic-scale fracture
networks. Although the fracture network can be partly sampled in the direct vicinity of wells …

Representing fractures explicitly using a discrete fracture network (DFN) approach is often
necessary to model the complex physics that govern thermo-hydro-mechanical–chemical …

Geological reservoirs can be extensively fractured but the well-test signatures observed in
the wells may not show a pressure transient response that is representative of naturally …

Low salinity waterflooding is an effective technique to accelerate and boost oil recovery. The
impact of this technique has been investigated widely in laboratories for various scales and …

Carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East hold a significant proportion of the remaining
conventional oil reserves, which most of them were classified as naturally fractured. These …

The Karachaganak field is a massive reef carbonate structure with relatively homogeneous
rock properties distribution in the platform region. In many wells in the field, well test data …

Permeability is an essential parameter for the reservoir characteristics, which controls the
flowing fluids in the reservoir hence the sweep efficiency and the ultimate recovery. The …

Geological well testing is a valuable tool that allows us to improve understanding of
pressure transient behaviour in a fractured reservoir. However, not all wells in a fractured …

Broad availability of continuous pressure measurements from Permanent Downhole Gauges
(PDGs) has revived interest in using Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) to improve history …

Long-term pressure and flow rate history are important for reservoir characterization and
reservoir management. However, a complete set of these data are often not available due to …
