Characterization and Modelling of the Ashtart Fracture Network Using an Integrated DFN Approach

The goal of this new study was to define an improved and agreed Shared Model between partners. Due to the long production history of the field, the model has to integrate all available data and previously realized studies, but as well be entirely consistent from geology to reservoir dynamic simulation. The present study is focused on the characterization and modelling of the existing fracture network. The applied DFN approach allows integrating within a consistent sequential workflow all the fracture information available for Ashtart. Also it delivers a static model consistent between geological and dynamic understanding.
