DETERMINING COMPOSITE MATRIX-FRACTURE PROPERTIES OF NATURALLY FRACTURED RESERVOIRS IN NUMERICAL RESERVOIR SIMULATION

摘要

Methods for determining composite matrix-fracture properties of naturally fractured reservoirs include obtaining, by a computer system, measured hydrocarbon data from one or more hydrocarbon wells using one or more formation evaluation tools. The computer system generates composite matrix-fracture properties of the one or more hydrocarbon wells using numerical simulation. The composite matrix-fracture properties include at least one of composite matrix-fracture permeability, composite matrix-fracture water saturation, composite matrix-fracture pressure, or composite matrix-fracture mobility of the one or more hydrocarbon wells. The computer system performs history matching for the one or more hydrocarbon wells by comparing the measured hydrocarbon data to the composite matrix-fracture properties. A display device of the computer system generates a graphical representation of results of the history matching.
