Abstract Currently, to build models for dynamic simulations of large oil and gas fields, engineers have to upscale the original geological grid not to exceed limits set but by computer memory size, CPU performance, and by the capabilities of standard commercial software packages. As a result, the upscaled model often has a rather low level …

Abstract Realistic simulations of full-field models including hydraulic fractures made at producing and injecting wells, and fractures created automatically, when the bottom hole pressure at injectors exceeds the overburden pressure remains problematic in the most commercial hydrodynamic simulators. The existing software can either provide a very detailed fracture dynamics description for one or few wells …
