Comments Off Fractured reservoirs make up a large and increasing percentage of the world’s hydrocarbon reserves. In BP Amoco alone, current and future fields in various types of fractured reservoirs are estimated to account for some 21 billion barrels of oil equivalent. However, in spite of the importance of fractured reservoirs, professionals in the industry tend to deny the presence of fractures in reservoirs. This fracture denial is probably due to the desire to avoid complication in the technical work and reduction of cycle times in the exploration and production efforts. Indeed, fractured reservoirs are very complicated and difficult, and they do require more time and money to be evaluated correctly.
This workshop provides a unique opportunity to learn all the aspects related to the understanding and modeling of fractured reservoirs. The first day of the workshop covers the geologic aspects which allow the participants to recognize different types of fractures as well as their impact on the reservoir and its performance. Once that is understood the trainer will move on to fracture mechanics and the initiation, propagation, linkage and arrest of rock fractures. The second day of the workshop will cover fracture toughness – an important parameter in determining fracture intensity, porosity and permeability of fractured reservoirs and fluid transport in fault zones. The last day will cover all aspects of modeling fractured reservoirs, and especially, the trainer will give two special topics on fractured sills as reservoirs and basement rocks as well as the difference between them and sedimentary rocks.
