Abstract
Techniques for calibration of a simulation of a subterranean region having complex fracture geometries. Calibration of indeterministic subsurface discrete fracture network models is performed via non-intrusive embedded discrete fracture modeling formulations applied in conjunction with well testing interpretation and numerical simulation. Subterranean fracture networks are characterized dynamically by embedded discrete fracture modeling to accurately and efficiently determine an optimal fracture model.
