Abstract
The Discrete Fracture Network and Dual Continuum concept are two common methods to model naturally fractured reservoirs. Each has specific limitations. The newly introduced recovery curve method is believed to be a compromise between these two current methods. In the recovery curve method, two recovery curves for water and gas displacements are used to more realistically calculate matrix-fracture mass exchanges. This paper presents a new approach to determine appropriate recovery curves by using the recovery curve method and production data. In particular, two recovery curves were determined for a column model by matching phase contact positions throughout the production data. Hybrid genetic...

Abstract
The discrete fracture network and continuous fracture network are among the most widely used methods to model naturally fractured reservoirs. Each method faces particular limitations. The recently introduced recovery curve method (RCM) is believed to meet the limitations of the common methods. In the RCM the recovery curves are used to more realistically describe matrix-fracture interactions. It is necessary to present appropriate solutions to apply the RCM in the real fileds and also to evaluate it based on the historical production data. In this work at first, the basics of the RCM are presented then with a simple column model this method is validated. Then in a column model and a field...
