    Description: The carbonate reservoirs in the Late Oligocene--Early Miocene Asmari Formation in the Dezful Embayment of SW Iran are characterized by low matrix permeability, and effective drainage is dependent on the occurrence of open fractures. Limited information on fracture orientation and fracture density is available from core and borehole image data, and high-quality/high-resolution three-dimensional seismic is often lacking in this area. Well and core data do not contain information on important fracture parameters like length distribution, crosscutting relationships, fracture density v. lithology and bed thickness. The understanding of fracture distribution and formation in the region and their effects on fluid flow has been greatly improved by the use of outcrop analogue data. Exposures of the Asmari Formation in the Khaviz Anticline are in close vicinity to the giant hydrocarbon fields. The Khaviz Anticline has a similar geometry and structural history to the major hydrocarbon fields in the area, and represents an excellent analogue for these. Two types of fracture features were observed: diffuse fracturing and fracture swarms. The diffuse fractures form networks and comprise structures grouped into four fractures sets, which are the typical for this type of anticline. Two orthogonal fracture sets are oriented parallel and perpendicular to the fold axis, and two conjugate fracture sets are oblique to the fold axis with their obtuse angle intersecting the trend of the fold axis. The fractures are typically stratabound, sub-perpendicular to bedding and commonly about the bounding stratigraphic surfaces. To a large extent the density and height of fractures in the Asmari Formation are controlled by the mechanical stratigraphy, which is controlled by the depositional environment and cycles. These outcrop data have been essential in the generation of discrete fracture network (DFN) models and the population of the fracture properties in the reservoir models.

    Description: Permeability in fractured carbonate reservoirs is very heterogeneous due to fracturing at different scales superimposed on inherent textures from deposition and diagenesis. Observations of fractures in core and outcrop indicate that flow in open fractures in carbonate rock tends to be channelled rather than through fissures. Most of the flow takes place along a few dominating channels in the fracture plane, whereas most of the fracture plane is not effective for fluid flow. The formation of flow channels is caused by a combination of mechanical and, in particular, diagenetic processes. Single extension fractures occur as partly open or vuggy fractures, and their hydraulic properties are controlled by dissolution and cementation. Single shear fractures are typically open at local steps in the fault plane controlled by shearing along irregular fracture surfaces. Fault damage zones tend to be concentrated at fault tips, intersections, pull-aparts and overlap zones that represent areas of dilation. These damage zones represent elongated features in three dimensions with a high fracture density that will result in channelled flow at reservoir scales. The effect of channelled flow should be taken into account during evaluation of fractured carbonate reservoirs and when building dynamic flow models.

    Description: The Zagros Fold and Thrust Belt of NE Iraq hosts a prolific hydrocarbon system. Reservoirs are commonly found in fractured Cretaceous carbonates (Shiranish Formation) such as in the Taq Taq Field located in the Kirkuk Embayment of the Zagros foothills. Data providing information on fractures in the Taq Taq Field are core, image logs and flowmeters from wells, and surface observations. For comparison, an outcrop study has been undertaken around the Bina Bawi Anticline (10 km from Taq Taq Field), where the same stratigraphical unit is exposed in a continuous, lenticular-shaped belt. Fracture data have been collected using scanlines on bedding surfaces in the limbs and hinge of the anticlines. Both the Bina Bawi Anticline and Taq Taq Field show a systematic relationship between fracture sets and fracture lineaments, with a dominance of NE–SW-oriented structures. This orientation is perpendicular to the major folds and parallel to the maximum horizontal in situ stress. There are three fracture populations in the Bina Bawi Anticline, classified according to their relationship with the fold axis and bedding: (i) NW–SE-striking fractures normal to bedding: (ii) NE–SW-striking fractures normal to bedding; and (iii) conjugate oblique fracture sets subnormal to bedding. Both fracture intensity and fracture terminations are controlled by the location within the anticline; the hinge zone displays the highest intensity and the most fracture-abutting terminations. Cross-cutting relationships suggest that a prefolding stage of NE–SW tensional fractures predates folding-related tensional and shear fractures. Few uplift fractures can be indicated. We propose that the former fracture set (joints) formed in a foreland setting and was controlled by the far-field stresses, whereas later fracturing occurred due to outer arc extension during flexing of the Bina Bawi and Taq Taq anticlines. Our comparative analysis of outcrop and well data underline the importance of representative analogue data for reservoir modelling and production strategies.

    Description: X-ray computed tomography (CT) is frequently used for non-destructive imaging and analysis of internal features in rock samples. In this paper we review the method for analysis of subseismic deformation structures in reservoir rocks, and provide some examples of different types of structures. Both medical CT and high-resolution µCT have great potential for identification of small-scale deformation structures in reservoir rocks and samples from outcrop analogues. The CT imaging techniques provide 3D data that are used in combination with 2D information from core or outcrop, thin-section and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). CT and µCT are used for quantitative and qualitative analysis of individual fractures and fracture networks, and for imaging and analysis of internal heterogeneities of fault rocks and deformation bands. The benefit of CT is that 3D properties (e.g. structure size, connectivity and variation in aperture) are actually characterized in 3D, contrary to traditional 2D methods using core surface, thin-section and outcrop. Limitations and uncertainties arise from artefacts during acquisition and processing, scale of observation and resolution, and manual steps involved in the segmentation of the CT volume. Increased availability of medical CT and µCT scanners and improved resolution should in the future lead to improved description and modelling of small-scale reservoir structures.

    Description: Discrete fracture and matrix (DFM) homogenization, simultaneously capturing reservoir layers and contained fractures, is an alternative to discrete fracture network (DFN) upscaling. Here, the DFM approach was applied to a fractured carbonate reservoir. Honouring geostatistical data from well logs, near-well multilayer reservoir models were constructed and analysed. Fracture aperture variations were modelled with a new semi-analytical model including a special treatment of layer-restricted fractures. Important results concern both pre-processing of stochastically generated DFMs for finite-element meshing, and the ensemble permeability values obtained by numerical homogenization of single v. multilayer models, respectively. Upscaling by volume averaging of vertically stacked single-layer DFMs results only in a fraction of the equivalent horizontal permeability that is obtained by homogenization of the multilayer models. Inspection of the flow patterns shows that this discrepancy arises because many fractures contact each other at layer boundaries fostering cross-flow. This effect is further enhanced where fractures intersect multiple layers. Compared to earlier DFN models for this reservoir, the DFM-derived fracture and matrix ensemble permeabilities are up to four times higher, highlighting how important it is to include the rock matrix into equivalent permeability calculations.

    Description: This volume examines the current best practice and new challenges in reservoir characterization and modelling of small- to subseismic-scale deformation features through case studies, experimental results and modelling. The papers in this volume include contributions on four themes related to the small-scale deformation of hydrocarbon reservoirs: the characterization of deformation in porous sandstones; novel characterization techniques; quantifying and characterizing deformation in carbonates; and modelling small-scale features. It includes eight papers from the conference Small to Subseismic-Scale Reservoir Deformation, organized by the Petroleum Group of the Geological Society and held in London from 29 to 30 October 2014, plus two additional papers. The observations in this introduction reflect the authors’ experiences and opinions, presentations at the conference and the papers within this volume.
