Production analysis of the fractured Zechstein-2 Carbonate Member in NE Netherlands: A dual porosity model approach

The Zechstein carbonates are an established petroleum play in North-West Europe including the Netherlands. Several undrilled Zechstein buildups have been identified around the Elbow Spit High in the northern part of the North Sea with GIIPs ranging from 1 to 109 m3. Since only few wells penetrate the Zechstein carbonates in this area, little...

Discrete Fracture Networks in carbonate anticlines: An example from the Berda Anticline in Southern Tunisia

Fractures can have a big impact on fluid production from subsurface reservoirs, but direct evidence of their presence is often lacking or ignored until the later stages of reservoir development. Outcrop analogue studies help in understanding and extrapolating fracture data outside the radius of a well. This paper presents the analysis of the...
