Abstract
We propose a simple approach to simulate gas-oil gravity drainage proc ess in fractured porous media by using an appropriate fracture capilla ry pressure curve and an expression for effective fracture liquid perm eability. The effective fracture liquid permeability is approximated b y fracture permeability perpendicular to fracture planes. There is no need to provide fracture relative permeabilities in our model. Numeric al simulation results are in excellent agreement with experimental dat a.
