(TU Delft Reservoir Engineering) Contributor Rossen, W.R. (promotor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Date 2017-11-14 Abstract A large number of oil and gas reservoirs across the world are naturally fractured, f r om which a significant amount of hydrocarbons are produced. Naturally fractured reservoirs, like all reservoirs, are exploited in t w o stages: primary recovery and secondary recovery (sometimes followed by tertiary recovery, i.e. enhanced oil recovery (EOR)), with different recovery mechanisms. During primary production, the reservoir is produced by fluid expansion. In secondary production and EOR, since the fractures are much more permeable than the matrix, the injected water or EOR agent flows rapidly through the fracture network and surrounds the matrix blocks. Oil recovery then depends on efficient delivery of water or EOR agent to the matrix through the fracture network.
