Özet

Most reservoirs consist of natural and artificial fractures, including isolated microscopic fissures. These fractures form complicated paths for reservoir characterization and fluid movement that ultimately impacts production performance and ultimate recovery. That's why recovery estimations of fractured reservoirs are considered to be extremely challenging due to complexity and heterogeneity of the geological patterns.
