material balance iin fractured reservoirs

[guizados]

hi,
does any one has any idea or document about how doing a material balance in a fractured reservoirs which is different from the way of doing it in conventional reservoirs , even MBAL does not deal with that kind of reservoirs I think

[salazar.snape]

in MBAL build two tanks......one each for matrix and fracture. use relevant properties like stick curves in fracture tank and oiip splits and assume all production is from fracture tanks and use the transmissibiliy between the fracture and matrix tanks as a tuning parameter for history match

[drwho]

agreed with salazar.snape. this is the only way to do MBAL for fracture reservoirs. do not be surprised when the range of STOOIP is wide.
