Unconventional resource exploration has boosted US oil and gas production, which is
successfully by horizontal well drilling and hydraulic fracturing. The horizontal well with …

Multistage hydraulically fractured wells are applied widely to produce unconventional
resource plays. In naturally fractured reservoirs, hydraulic-fracture treatments may induce …

Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing produce Unconventional Liquid Reservoirs
(ULRs) economically. One of the characteristics of the ULRs is high production declining …

Effective workflows for translating Earth models into simulation models require grids that
preserve geologic accuracy, offer flexible resolution control, integrate tightly with upscaling …

In the context of modeling fractured horizontal wells, unstructured grids have been applied to
generate simulation meshes for complex fracture networks. It is necessary to investigate how …

Flow simulation in a reservoir can be highly impacted by upscaling errors. These errors can
be reduced by using simulation grids with cells as homogeneous as possible, hence …

This paper presents an approach called, Enhanced Discrete Fracture Network (EDFN) for
fractured reservoirs modeling. The purpose of this approach is to efficiently represent …

Wavelet transforms (WTs) constitute a class of powerful tools for spectral and local analysis
of data, such as time series, geophysical data, and well logs, as well as modeling of various …

In the context of multi-stage hydraulically fractured horizontal wells, unstructured grids such
as PEBI (perpendicular bisector) grids or Voronoi grids have been widely applied to …

Accurate representation of near-well flow is an important subject matter in reservoir
simulation. In today's field-scale reservoir simulation, cell-centered structured grids remain …
