Abstract :
We modeled tracer injection through highly fractured media by Random Walk Particle Tracking simulations, and observed that production curves for different R values (distance between injection and production wells) are similar to each other and can be scaled. Hence, if we define P ( t ) as a probability of a particle to reach the production well within traveling time t , and plot P ( t ) R β vs. t / R α , we observe that production curves for different values of R overlaid. We identified the dependencies of α and β parameters on fracture network parameters, such as fracture spacing (fracture density) and the fractal characteristics of fracture network.
