An integrated strategy for analyzing flow conductivity of fractures in a naturally fractured reservoir using a complex network metric

摘要: In this paper a new strategy for analyzing the capability of flow conductivity hydrocarbon in fractures associated to reservoir under study is presented. This described as an integrated methodology which involves input data intersection points that are extracted from hand-sample fracture images obtained cores Naturally Fractured Reservoir. consists two main stages. The first stage carries out analysis and image processing, whose goal extraction topological structure system. second focused on finding node or vertex, represents most important graph applying improved betweenness centrality measure. Once representative obtained, intensity quantified. sand box technique based different radius obtaining pattern used. results allow us deduce characterization reservoir, by knowing possible topology viewed complex network. Moreover our may be also interest formulation models whole reservoir.
