The performance of a solution gas-drive reservoir can be predicted using Vogel inflow performance relation (or IPR), which simply relates the deliverability of a well to bottom-hole pressure and average reservoir pressure. While many studies have shown the success of Vogel-type IPR for single porosity reservoirs, the applicability of this method for naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs), is under question mainly because of the complex flow behavior in matrix and fracture systems. The present study is undertaken to determine if the relation between NFR flowing wellbore pressure and oil production rate could be described by Vogel's IPR. For this purpose, a synthetic dual porosity fractured... 

The simulation of fractured reservoir is conventionally performed by using dual porosity formulation in which the type of transfer function may be critical. Over the past few years, various models with their strength and weakness have been developed to account for matrix-fracture interporosity flow. However, some of them are unable to simulate some mechanisms like gravity drainage. In this work, the most well-known transfer functions have been examined for simulation of the gravity drainage in a single block model and an improvement has been introduced to modify them. The validation of the developed approach have been done by using fine grid simulation  

Fractures identification is essential during exploration, drilling and well completion of naturally fractured reservoirs since they have a significant impact on flow contribution. There are different methods to characterize these systems based on formation properties and fluid flow behaviour such as logging and testing. Pressure-transient testing has long been recognized as a reservoir characterization tool. Although welltest analysis is a recommended technique for fracture evaluation, but its use is still not well understood. Analysis of pressure transient data provides dynamic reservoir properties such as average permeability, fracture storativity and fracture conductivity.An infusion of...
