Water coning is a complex phenomenon that depends on various parameters which include among: production rate, matrix and fracture permeability, perforation interval, aquifer size, mobility ratio, capillary pressure, etc. Production of water can greatly affect the productivity of a well and the reservoir at large volume. In naturally fractured reservoirs, this problem is more complex because permeability of the fractures in the porous media is too high. With this complexity of water coning behavior in naturally fractured reservoir, this phenomenon was studied by simulating a sector of a carbonate fractured reservoir supported by an aquifer using Eclipse-300 simulator. A sector of an Iranian...
