Simulation of Fracture Networks
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Stochastic fractures represent very small scale heterogeneities, yet they may be critical to the flow mechanism of a fissured reservoir. They are not considered in flow simulation if the flow simulation block value does not account for the within-block heterogeneity. It is therefore necessary to account for such stochastic fractures when simulating the block effective permeability or porosity value. We propose a pixel-based approach to fracture modelling.
