Exploring a New Characterization, Modeling, and Simulation Workflow for Vietnamese Basement Reservoirs

We show that unstructured grids are essentials for the geologically realistic representation in simulations of fractured basement reservoirs and provide alternatives to the ill-suited porous media type modeling approaches typically applied to the fault zones. Fault kinematics combined with in situ stress data prove most useful for property modeling and assessing the flow potential of fault segments.
