Molecular diffusion is critical for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in shale oil reservoirs with
complex fracture networks. Understanding the influence of fractures on diffusive mass …

The characteristic of the pressure response occurring during dense well spacing hydraulic
fracturing in unconventional reservoirs deserves to be investigated, because the effect of the …

Traditionally, subsurface models are created based on reservoir characterization, then
simulated and calibrated via history matching (HM) to honor data, generate forecasts, and …

Natural fracture systems comprise numerous small features and relatively few large ones. At
field scale, it is impractical to treat all fractures explicitly. We represent the largest fractures …

Accurate evaluation of recovery mechanisms in fractured reservoirs is challenging due to the
large permeability contrast at the matrix-fracture interface. Dual Porosity-Dual Permeability …

Parent and child wells interference is a major concern in the development of shale and tight
reservoirs. Oil and gas operators typically aim to prevent fractures interference during the …

Many engineering applications like hydrology, petroleum production or geothermal
exploitation, require accurate simulation of multiphase flow in fractured porous media. After …

Natural fracture systems comprise numerous small features and relatively few large ones. At
field scale, it is impractical to treat all fractures explicitly. We represent the largest fractures …

Accurate and efficient numerical simulation of unconventional reservoirs is challenging.
Long periods of transient flow and steep potential gradients occur due to the extreme …

This work proposes three new methods to capture near-fracture transient effects that occur
during the simulation of unconventional reservoirs. The three methods aim to enhance …
