摘要

When drilling a horizontal well in a fractured reservoir the aimrnis to intersect those fractures that are capable of providing arnconduit for fluid flow. Key factors influencing the success ofrna horizontal well include the choice of horizon and therndirection of drilling. However, even if these have beenrndetermined, the drilling distance required to achieve the aimrnremains a problem.rnNew methods have been developed which allow anrnappropriate drilling distance to be constrained on a sitespecificrnbasis, where opening mode fractures are dominant.rnThese methods utilize knowledge gained through empiricalrnstudies of the scaling properties of fracture populations.rnStatistical constraints on the required well length arerncalculated through measurement of the aperture sizerndistribution of the fracture population, combined withrnobservation of the history of fracture fill. Calculations ofrnfracture permeability are made, based on the scale of datarnacquisition and are compared with matrix permeability.rnA case study of opening-mode fractures in the AustinrnChalk reveals that large, potentially open, fractures arerncommonly clustered, the distance between clusters rangingrnfrom ~1m to ~50m. Aperture size distributions follow powerrnlaws and spacing size distributions are negative logarithmic orrnlognormal. The aperture size at which fractures are open tornfluids is variable (0.14-11mm). Fracture permeability isrndependant on the scale at which it is measured and has beenrndetermined at 7.1D (for 18m of Lower Austin Chalk core) andrn286D (for 300m of Upper Austin Chalk outcrop). Theserncalculated fracture permeabilities are several orders ofrnmagnitude larger than the typical Austin Chalk matrixrnpermeability of 0.03-1.27mD.
