Benchmarks for single-phase flow in fractured porous media

TL;DR: Several test cases intended to be benchmarks for numerical schemes for single-phase fluid flow in fractured porous media are presented, including a vertex and two cell-centred finite volume methods, a non-conforming embedded discrete fracture model, a primal and a dual extended finite element formulation, and a mortar discrete fractures model.

Improving Oil Recovery Through Fracture Injection and Production of Multiple Fractured Horizontal Wells

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of the inter-fracture injection and production (IFIP) method to increase oil production rates of horizontal wells is investigated, and the suggested well completion scheme for the IFIP methods is presented.

A discrete fracture model for two-phase flow in fractured porous media

TL;DR: In this article, a discrete fracture model on the basis of a cell-centered finite volume scheme with multi-point flux approximation (MPFA) is presented, where fractures are included in a d-dimensional computational domain as (d − 1 )-dimensional entities living on the element facets, which requires the grid to have the element facet aligned with the fracture geometries.

A hierarchical fracture model for the iterative multiscale finite volume method

TL;DR: An iterative multiscale finite volume (i-MSFV) method is devised for the simulation of multiphase flow in fractured porous media in the context of a hierarchical fracture modeling framework and it is demonstrated that the new method is an effectiveMultiscale approach for simulations of realistic multiphases flows in fractured heterogeneous porous media.
