Abstract

This paper presents a numerical model to calculate effective permeability tensor and to simulate the fluid flow in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs. This simulation includes three parts. A discrete fracture network is realized to capture the features of the target Naturally Fractured Reservoirs. The discrete fracture network is discretized into a limited number of grids whose effective permeabilities are calculated. Matching the production rate histories confirmed the correctness of the effective permeability tensor calculated in this way.
