What is Recovery Mechanisms in Fractured Reservoirs and Field Performance about?

## Abstract Fractured petroleum reservoirs provide considerable challenge in studyingnatural depletion, immiscible gas injection, miscible gas injection, and waterinjection. In this overview, certain key aspects of two-phase flow in relationto gas injection and water injection in fractured reservoirs are reviewed. Onemain conclusion from the review is that the field performance can be veryefficient by water injection in some weakly water-wet fractured eservoirsdespite the poor recovery in the laboratory by the conventional imbibitiontests. ## Introduction Fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs provide over 20 % of the world oil reserves andproduction. Examples of the prolific fractured petroleum reservoirs are:the Asmari limestone reservoirs in Iran,the vugular carbonate reservoirs in Mexico, andthe group of chalk reservoirs of the North Sea. These prolificreservoirs produce more than five million barrels of oil a day; their commonfeature is a long life span, which could last several decades. There are alarge number of other fractured hydrocarbons reservoirs that may have featuresvery different from the above reservoirs. Examples of such reservoirs are the Austin chalk field and the Keys
