Keynote Address: Key Elements to a Quality Fracture Model for Simulation: The Need for Multi-Scale Fracture Measurements to Constrain the Model

A key element in performing an effective flow simulation in a fractured reservoir is construction of a well-constrained Static Conceptual Fracture Model for the Reservoir. The Static Fracture Model Along with the Dynamic Fracture (fluid distribution fracture flow properties) and Geomechanical Model for the reservoir are merged to create the final gridded simulation grid.
