SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NUMERICAL SIMULATION FOR FRACTURE DRIVEN INTERACTION

Abstract: a method of calculating water movement from child well to parent well. the method includes obtaining hydraulic fracturing data; constructing a structured grid model using the obtained hydraulic fracturing data, where the structured grid model includes time-varying connectivity equivalent to the at least one parent well hydraulic fracture and the at least one child well hydraulic fracture to represent dynamically changing connectivity between wells and capture hydraulic fracturing growth; embedding fracture flow-based parameters into the structured grid model to generate a fine scale grid of permeability values; upscaling the fine scale grid of permeability values into a coarse scale grid of permeability values to determine a single connectivity value for each well pair; constructing a time varying connectivity curve for each well pair using the determined connectivity values for each well pair; and utilizing the time varying connectivity curve to calculate the water movement from child well to parent well.
