Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs

This chapter mainly and specifically discusses on the naturally-fractured carbonate reservoirs. A carbonate reservoir is defined as being “fractured” only if a continuous network of various degrees of fracturing is distributed throughout the reservoir. Basically fractures formed naturally during the specific geological circumstances of reservoir history. On the other hand, the presence of some dispersed fractures induced by engineering stimulations in a carbonate rock will never transform a carbonate reservoir into a natural “fractured carbonate reservoir.” The main aspects on which the work has to be directed are: (1) geological conditions of fracturing, and (2) influence of stylolites and joints.
