Abstract

Geomechanics and fluid flow in natural fractured reservoirs are so complex that simplified models must be used for their conceptual representation and simulation (Gong B (2007) Effective models of fractured systems. Ph.D. Thesis, Stanford University.). Flow in fractured rocks is simulated by a set of various models such as explicit fractured models (EFM), discrete fractured models (DFM), dual-permeability, dual-porosity, multipermeability and/or multiporosity models.
