Damage Model for Reservoirs with Multisets of Natural Fractures and Its Application in the Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing

The presence of natural fractures can significantly affect the quality of hydraulic fracturing operations in tightsand and shale or oil/gas formations. This paper describes the procedure used to model natural fractures with continuum damage tensor and the resulting orthotropic permeability tensor. A...
