This MATLAB package was developed to facilitate the compositional modeling of naturally-fractured reservoirs, such as shale gas/oil reservoirs. It implements the 3D Projection-based Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (pEDFM) presented in the following journal:
O. M. Olorode, B. Wang, H. U. Rashid. “Three-Dimensional Projection-Based Embedded Discrete Fracture Model for Compositional Simulation of Fractured Reservoirs”. SPE Journal, 2020, Volume 25, Issue 04, 2143–2161 (https://doi.org/10.2118/201243-PA).
This shale module requires the opensource MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolkit (http://www.sintef.no/projectweb/mrst/).
Easiest way to get started with this package is to clone and extract it into the modules folder in MRST, and then run the cases in the "examples" folder. These include:
gangiPlot - Plots the Gangi Permeability correction factor
langmuirPlot - Plots the Langmuir Isotherm
stochasticFracs - Generates stochastic fractures
compositional3D - Illustrates use of hfm + compositional module
sorption - Illustrates effect of Sorption
diffusion - Illustrates effect of Diffusion
gangi - Illustrates effect of a pressure-dependent permeability
eagleFord - Application of pEDFM with fractured shale reservoirs
eagleFordEDFM - Application of EDFM with fractured shale reservoirs
