Modeling Hydraulic Fracturing Induced Fracture Networks in Shale Gas Reservoirs as a Dual Porosity System

Abstract: Shale gas production from organic rich shale formations is one of the most rapidly expanding areas in oil and gas exploration and production today. Because of extremely low permeability and low porosity, long horizontal wells in conjunction with multi-staged massive hydraulic fracturing treatments (HFT) are required to bring economic productions from shale gas reservoirs. It has been recognized that extensive fracture networks with massive contact surface areas are necessary to support economic productions fro… Show more

“…Prior approaches relied on simplification or approximation of the detailed description the created complex fracture geometries (Du et al 2009(Du et al , 2010Ejofodomi et al 2011;Mongalvy et al 2011). However, modeling advancement made has enabled the explicit gridding of the complex hydraulic fracture geometries in reservoir simulation models, and this now provides the necessary detail to properly evaluate fracture treatment designs and well performance.…”

“…Prior to the introduction of complex fracture models, reservoir simulation approaches have utilized dual-porosity solutions to approximate the details of the fracture network (Du et al 2009(Du et al , 2010Ejofodomi et al 2011;Mongalvy et al 2011). However, the ability to discretely grid complex hydraulic fracture geometries in reservoir simulation models is now required to provide the necessary detail to properly evaluate fracture treatment designs and well performance.…”
