Abstract
A case study with various fracture sets is presented. The initial realizations were generated by means of Monte Carlo simulations, using the observed fractures at the well locations. Fracture intensity, orientation, and conductivity of different fracture sets were the uncertain parameters in our studies. Using the proposed methodology, parameters of different fracture sets were satisfactorily updated. Implementation of this automated history matching approach resulted in multiple equally probable discrete fracture network models and their upscaled flow simulation models that honor the geological information, and at the same time they match the dynamic production history.
