Numerical Simulation of Shale Gas Production

Abstract:

Shale gas reservoirs require a large fracture network to maximize well performance. Microseismic fracture mapping has shown that large fracture networks can be generated in many shale reservoirs. The application of microseismic fracture mapping measurements requires estimation of the structure of the complex hydraulic fracture or the volume of the reservoir that has been stimulated by the fracture treatment. There are three primary approaches used to incorporate microseismic measurements into reservoir simulation models: discrete modeling of the complex fracture network, wire-mesh model, and dual porosity model. This paper discuss the different simulation model, the results provided insights into effective stimulation designs and flow mechanism for shale gas reservoirs.
