A Novel Model Incorporating Geomechanics for a Horizontal Well in a Naturally Fractured Reservoir

A Novel Model Incorporating Geomechanics for a Horizontal Well in a Naturally Fractured Reservoir

Fracture aperture of a fractured reservoir can be affected by both matrix elasticity and fracture compressibility when the reservoir pressure decreases, namely stress sensitivity. An elasticity parameter coupling Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio was introduced to reflect this...
