SARDA 1 Abstract Summary 1 The aim of this presentation is to describe how local discrete fracture models can be use to fill the reservoir grid built for fluid flow simulation of fractured reservoirs. The application of the proposed methodology to a fractured carbonate reservoir is used to highlight the main advantage of the proposed methodology and the type of reservoir characteristics it can reveal. Furthermore it demonstrates that even in a
