Simulation of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

Course

Description

This is a graduate engineering course Ph.D. level in Petroleum Engineering. The course covers advanced simulation aspects of naturally fractured reservoirs from single continuum to dual- and multi-continuum approaches. Specific topics include: discerption of fractures and fissured medium, classification of fractures and scales, fracture connectivity and networks, mathematical modelling of NFRs, dual porosity models, dual porosity/dual permeability models, FD numerical schemes, Mixed Finite Elements, DFN, multiscale approaches, pressure transient analysis of NFRs, and multiphase flow in NFRs.
