Thermal recovery technology is generally suitable for shallow lays due to the higher thermal
loss for the deep heavy-oil reservoirs. Non-thermal recovery technologies, such as the non …

We present a multiscale approach to develop a deterministic Discrete Fracture Network
(DFN) model including fracture enlargement due to karstic dissolution in low-porosity …

The structural characterization of fractures is crucial to understand the processes of fluid flow
in tight reservoirs. This contribution focuses on the role played by vertical fractures on the …

Planar structures including stylolites, solution seams, dense streaks, bedding and cross-
bedding surfaces, and fractures of carbonate Early Triassic Kangan Formation were …

A giant, ultra-deep (> 7000 m) strike-slip fault-related oilfield has been found in the central
depression of the Tarim Basin. However, little research has addressed this discovery to …

Hydrocarbon flow rates from tight carbonate reservoirs often depend on the distribution and
properties of fractures throughout the reservoir interval. Hence, quantification of fracture …

Tight Carbonate reservoirs are regarded as one of the most complex reservoir formations
due to the heterogeneity and complexity of their mineral composition, pore structure, and …

Karst reservoirs in the Ordovician carbonates of Tarim Basin are currently major targets of
deep and ultra-deep hydrocarbon exploration and development in China. New drilling and …

The Middle Permian Maokou Formation carbonate rocks in the southern Sichuan Basin are
import targets for hydrocarbon exploration, with numerous gas fields discovered in structural …

As fluid flow paths in fractural-cavity carbonate reservoirs, fractures have a significant impact
on the production performance of carbonate reservoirs. In particular, well production …
