将裂缝和储层诊断分析与集成地质力学和储层模拟相结合是一种有效且经济高效的方法，可以生成真实的裂缝几何形状、了解流体流动行为并定义非常规储层中的裂缝-电导率分布。完整的论文介绍了综合地质力学和油藏模拟的案例研究，以及开发的裂缝电导率计算工作流程，该工作流程通过诊断结果进行验证，以评估井距和完井设计。
这项研究通过使用可变裂缝导流能力匹配现场裂缝诊断和油藏模拟，扩展了之前作者的研究。在作者使用的水力压裂试验场 2 (HFTS-2) 开发示例中，使用了多种裂缝诊断方法来校准水力压裂模型。模型校准后，新的支撑剂电导率算法会根据支撑剂浓度的物理模型计算来分配沿水力裂缝的电导率值。
Combining fracture and reservoir diagnostic analysis with integrated geomechanics and reservoir simulation is an efficient and cost-effective approach to generate realistic fracture geometry, understand fluid flow behavior, and define fracture-conductivity distribution in unconventional reservoirs. The complete paper presents a case study of integrated geomechanical and reservoir simulation with a developed fracture-conductivity-calculation work flow that was validated with diagnostic results to evaluate well spacing and completions design.
This study extends that of previous authors by matching field fracture diagnostics and reservoir simulation using variable fracture conductivity. In the example used by the authors from the Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site 2 (HFTS-2) development, multiple fracture diagnostic methods were used to calibrate hydraulic fracture models. Once the model was calibrated, a new proppant-conductivity algorithm assigned conductivity values along the hydraulic fractures based on a physics-based model calculation of proppant concentration.
