“…Due to the high stiffness of the matrix (intact rock), the strains are localized on fracture and fault planes altering their hydraulic conductivity. Published works support some evidence of preferred flooding directions during floodwater in both naturally fractured reservoirs and unfractured reservoirs Heffer et al, 1994).…”

“…In the case of fractured reservoirs, Gutierrez and Makurat (1997) showed that fracture permeability changes due to temperature and fluid pressure variations induced by reservoir production can significantly alter the water flood behaviour of the reservoir. The evidence of preferred flooding directions during water flood in both "naturally fractured" and "unfractured reservoirs" have been illustrated by Koutsabeloulis et al (1994) and Heffer et al (1994).…”

“…In turn, the change in stress state affects the fluid-flow properties such as porosity and permeability, and consequently, can have a large impact on the reservoir productivity (see e.g. References [3,4]). Therefore, the optimum management of stress dependent reservoirs requires geomechanical modelling to account for stress variations and their effects on the reservoir production.…”
