Popis: With the realization that water injection is generally taking place under fracturing conditions, tools capable of better modelling fractured injection and its impact are being developed. Models integrating rock (fracture) mechanics and traditional reservoir simulation are now applied to water injection projects with a number of applications in the Middle East. Fracture dimensions are a key input to those models. Monitoring techniques to track the evolution of induced fractures with time are also being deployed. Amongst those techniques microseismic and specific fall-off test procedures are used.
