METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO IDENTIFY PALEO STRESS REGIONS FOR DUAL POROSITY DUAL PERMEABILITY NUMERICAL SIMULATION

Abstract: a computer-implemented method includes receiving a static fracture model and input data for a naturally fractured reservoir, obtaining changes in natural fracture orientations within the naturally fractured reservoir based on the static fracture model and the input data, obtaining variations of maximum horizontal stress directions within the naturally fractured reservoir based on principal stresses therein, determining one or more paleo-stress regions based on the changes in natural fracture orientations and the variations of maximum horizontal stress directions, and history matching each determined paleo-stress region to a known quantity of dynamic response based upon a known dynamic response, a historical data set, or a plurality of assumptions for flow characteristics.
