Popis: This work shows that discrete fracture network modeling is very desirable for the characterization of naturally fractured reservoirs but it is only a highly subjective starting point. Thus, calibration against short and long term pressure transient tests is most crucial. This paper shows how the dynamic behavior of a discrete fracture network model of Margarita gas field compared against pressure transient measurements in a sidetrack delineation-well. The performance comparison of a very fine-grid reservoir model, which included the discrete fracture network information, versus a much coarser upscaled grid model is also documented.
