In the complex field of carbonate reservoir evaluation, the intricate structural features present significant obstacles. This study tackles the essential task of structural delineation, with a particular focus on fractured reservoirs, and highlights the crucial influence of permeability on the performance of wells and reservoirs. The Oil Based Mud Micro-Imager - resistivity of invading zone (OBMI-Rxo) offers a high-resolution curve that is sensitive to fluid mobility near the borehole wall, although it is often underexploited by oil companies. Maintaining borehole stability after drilling is critical for ensuring the longevity of wells. This research introduces a holistic workflow that combines borehole imagery, petrophysical logs, the Modular Formation Dynamics Tester (MDT), Xpress Pressure Tool (XPT), and core samples for sophisticated formation evaluation in both carbonate fractured and clastic reservoirs. The study reveals new insights into reservoir structure, fracture detection, visualization of rock texture, and permeability distribution, thereby improving our understanding of well conditions in these challenging geological environments.

Multiphase Fluid Flow in Porous and Fractured Reservoirs discusses the process of modeling fluid flow in petroleum and natural gas reservoirs, a practice that has become increasingly complex thanks to multiple fractures in horizontal drilling and the discovery of more unconventional reservoirs and resources. The book updates the reservoir engineer of today with the latest developments in reservoir simulation by combining a powerhouse of theory, analytical, and numerical methods to create stronger verification and validation modeling methods, ultimately improving recovery in stagnant and complex reservoirs. Going beyond the standard topics in past literature, coverage includes well treatment, Non-Newtonian fluids and rheological models, multiphase fluid coupled with geomechanics in reservoirs, and modeling applications for unconventional petroleum resources. The book equips today's reservoir engineer and modeler with the most relevant tools and knowledge to establish and solidify stronger oil and gas recovery. - Delivers updates on recent developments in reservoir simulation such as modeling approaches for multiphase flow simulation of fractured media and unconventional reservoirs - Explains analytical solutions and approaches as well as applications to modeling verification for today's reservoir problems, such as evaluating saturation and pressure profiles and recovery factors or displacement efficiency - Utilize practical codes and programs featured from online companion website

Many aspects of hydraulic proppant fracturing have changed since its innovation in 1947. The main significance of this book is its combination of technical and economical aspects to provide an integrated overview of the various applications of proppants in hydraulic fracturing, and gravel in sand control. The monitoring of fractures and gravel packs by well-logging and seismic techniques is also included.The book's extensive coverage of the subject should be of special interest to reservoir geologists and engineers, production engineers and technologists, and well log analysts.
