SAHIMI, MUHAMMAD, U. of Southern California

We describe a unified and novel approach to Previous HitcharacterizationNext Hit of fractured reservoirs and simulation of fluid Previous HitflowNext Hit therein. The method is based on a novel application of wavelet transformations (WT). We describe how WTs can de-noise the data, uncover their special features and spatial distribution, identify the spatial distribution of the Previous Hitreservoir'sNext Hit fractures and faults, and analyze seismic data. After constructing the geological model of the Previous HitreservoirNext Hit based on this analysis, WTs perform a realistic and highly efficient scale up of the model. In the fluid Previous HitflowNext Hit simulations, wavelet basis functions provide very accurate numerical solution of the Previous HitflowNext Hit equations. The results of the simulations are then analyzed by WTs in order to understand their implications.Hence, WTs provide a unified and efficient approach to every stage of Previous HitcharacterizationNext Hit of a complex Previous HitreservoirNext Hit, simulation of fluid Previous HitflowNext Hit therein, and analysis of the simulation results. The method is demonstrated by its application to Previous HitcharacterizationNext Hit of a fractured carbonate Previous HitreservoirNext Hit and simulation of three-phase Previous HitflowNext Hit in the Previous HitreservoirTop.
