Description / Table of Contents:
Naturally fractured reservoirs constitute a substantial percentage of remaining hydrocarbon resources; theycreate exploration targets in otherwise impermeable rocks, including under-explored crystalline basement;and they can be used as geological stores for anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Their complex behaviour duringproduction has traditionally proved difficult to predict, causing a large degree of uncertainty in reservoirdevelopment. The applied study of naturally fractured reservoirs seeks to constrain this uncertainty bydeveloping new understanding, and is necessarily a broad, integrated, interdisciplinary topic. This bookaddresses some of the challenges and advances in knowledge, approaches, concepts, and methods usedto characterize the interplay of rock matrix and fracture networks, relevant to fluid flow and hydrocarbonrecovery. Topics include: describing, characterizing and identifying controls on fracture networks fromoutcrops, cores, geophysical data, digital and numerical models; geomechanical influences on reservoirbehaviour; numerical modelling and simulation of fluid flow; and case studies of the exploration and developmentof carbonate, siliciclastic and metamorphic naturally fractured reservoirs.
