Abstract

The constructing of a natural fracture model of a secondary reservoir in a field by using the information from a primary reservoir within a stacked 3D geological model. A fracture model may be constructed for a primary reservoir that incorporates a specific paleo-stress regime and information from a stacked 3D geological model, a deformation model, and a geomechanical model. Parameters such as a deformation model, brittleness index, and stress model may be extracted from the fracture model for a primary reservoir. A fracture model for the secondary reservoir is then constructed from the extracted parameters, and the fracture model is used to identify locations in the secondary reservoir for drilling and other operations.
