PRESSURE ANALYSIS OF A WELL WITH AN INCLINED HYDRAULIC FRACTURE IN A NATURALLY FRACTURED RESERVOIR
Abstract:
In the field of reservoir engineering, the analysis of pressure behavior plays a crucial role in understanding the performance of oil and gas wells. This abstract presents a study focused on the pressure analysis of a well with an inclined hydraulic fracture in a naturally fractured reservoir. The presence of natural fractures significantly affects the flow behavior and production characteristics of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Therefore, understanding the pressure response of such reservoirs is essential for effective reservoir management and production optimization.
The study utilizes numerical simulation techniques to investigate the pressure behavior of a well that has been stimulated with an inclined hydraulic fracture in a naturally fractured reservoir. The numerical model incorporates the properties of both the reservoir matrix and the induced hydraulic fracture network. The simulation is performed using established mathematical models that account for fluid flow through porous media, fracture propagation, and pressure transients.
The pressure analysis focuses on examining the impact of various parameters, including fracture orientation, fracture conductivity, reservoir properties, and production conditions, on the pressure response of the well. The numerical simulations provide insights into the complex interaction between the hydraulic fracture and the natural fractures, shedding light on the mechanisms governing fluid flow and pressure distribution within the reservoir.
The results of the pressure analysis provide valuable information for reservoir engineers and operators. They aid in understanding the effectiveness of the inclined hydraulic fracture in enhancing well productivity and reservoir performance. The findings can guide decision-making processes related to well completion design, stimulation strategies, and production optimization.
Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of pressure behavior in naturally fractured reservoirs with inclined hydraulic fractures. The insights gained from this analysis can help optimize hydrocarbon recovery and improve reservoir management strategies, ultimately leading to more efficient and sustainable exploitation of oil and gas resources in such reservoirs.
