[Opm] Hydraulic Fracture Modelling

[Neale ROBERTS]

Patricia - I just realized that you may be talking about fracture propagation, while my response is describing the modeling of fractures in production. Cheers! - NR

Patricia - I don't believe any special calculations should be required to model hydraulic fractures. I would recommend, depending on grid size vs stimulation, using a negative skin in COMPDAT, or perm multipliers in the grid.

Good luck! - NR

Hi Patricia,

I am a bit unsure how you envision the fractured well modelled in Flow. Resinsight already has support for it using well completions:
https://resinsight.org/wells-and-completions/

There is to my knowledge no funding available to work on this in Flow at the moment, so the usual "patches are welcome" applies 🙂 Please also note that you will find software in the OPM IFEM repositories to model the fracture propagation in the reservoir.

Best,
Alf

Hello all,

I wonder if there are any plans to include the modelling of hydraulic fractures in Flow. This is a key issue given the current important production from unconventionals in the US and other places of the world. Obviously, ResInsight will need to be updated accordingly.

Thank you for the hard work. Best regards.

PC
