Abstract

Certain aspects and features relate to a system that projects an optimized foam-fluid-application scenario for to stimulate production from a hydrocarbon well. The optimized scenario can include a recommended chemical make-up for the foam entity as well as application parameters such those related to timing and duration. A hybrid discrete fracture network and multi-porosity (DFN-MP) model for fluid interaction with the formation where the well is located can be produced by a processing device. The hybrid DFN-MP model can be optimized using field simulation data for the formation. The optimized hybrid DFN-MP model can be used by the processing device to produce an optimized foam-fluid-application scenario, which can be communicated to at least one well and can be utilized to stimulate the well for increased production.
