Abstract

Method for modelling a reservoir including receiving a data set relating to one or more wells within a reservoir, processing the data set to identify one or more fractures extending from the one or more wells into the reservoir, categorizing the one or more fractures as principal fractures or secondary fractures, identifying a near well high permeability region for each of the one or more wells, generating a gridded fracture plane of the one or more wells, determining a fracture permeability region, assembling the gridded fracture plane, the fracture permeability regions, and the near well high permeability region for each of the one or more wells, and generating a three-dimensional reservoir model based on the assembled gridded fracture plane for each of the plurality of predetermined depths, the fracture permeability regions, and the near well high permeability region for each of the one or more wells.
