A three-dimensional enhanced dual-porosity and dual-permeability approach for hydromechanical modeling of naturally fractured rocks

Julio Rueda et al.

Summary: The proposed enhanced dual-porosity and dual-permeability model offers a more realistic representation of fractured porous formations compared to traditional models. It allows for incorporation of multiple block domains formed by various multiscale fracture sets with arbitrary orientations, permeabilities, and sizes. Comparative results show good agreement with the discrete fracture method, validating the accuracy of the fully coupled hydromechanical formulations.

A new approach for modeling three-dimensional fractured reservoirs with embedded complex fracture networks

Cristian Mejia et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new embedded fracture approach for fluid flow in highly fractured porous media, which includes condensation technique to merge fracture contributions into continuum elements and guarantee compatibility between fractures and porous matrix within a standard finite element mesh. Despite its simplicity, the method demonstrates robustness and applicability to highly fractured rock reservoir cells with random fracture orientation. The pore pressure field obtained with this approach closely matches predictions from explicit approaches with zero-thickness interface elements, showing promising results.
