oa Observations of Open Fractures in Carbonate Reservoir Rocks, Implications for Fluid Flow Simulations

Fractured carbonate reservoirs are commonly extremely heterogeneous. This heterogeneity is caused by fracturing at<br>multi scales superimposed on inherent textures from deposition and diagenesis. In addition, there is an<br>interrelationship between diagenesis and fracture formation, e.g. the matrix properties may change due to reactions<br>with fluids provided by the fracture network or fractures are filled with calcite cement.
