Study on Smart Numerical Simulation Mechanism in Complex Reservoir Using Embedded Discrete Fracture Model

Abstract

The embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) method is used to study the mechanism model of the reservoir with a complex fracture system, and the sensitivity analysis of the development effect is carried out. The results show that: 1) the EDFM method can directly characterize the fracture morphology and fracture attributes in the reservoir; 2) Through comparative analysis of reservoir type, capillary force, and fracture development degree, it is found that different reservoir types have great differences in development effect, fracture opening has little influence on the reservoir, capillary force and fracture density have a great influence on the reservoir development effect, and with the increase of fracture density, the reservoir development effect increases significantly.
