Proposal of a Numerical Model for a Naturally Fractured Geothermal Reservoir

Abstract

This paper proposes the fracture-matrix system permeability for the simulation study of a fractured reservoir. This permeability can be incorporated into a developed numerical model for a conventional reservoir to deal with fluid flow in a fractured reservoir approximately. The merits and demerits of this model are also compared with those of other two models developed for a fractured reservoir.
