Abstract:
One or more computer-readable media include computer-executable instructions to instruct a computing system to iteratively solve a system of equations that model a wellbore and fracture network in a reservoir where the system of equations includes equations for multiphase flow in a porous medium, equations for multiphase flow between a fracture and a wellbore, and equations for multiphase flow between a formation of a reservoir and a fracture. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method can include identifying a discrete natural fracture in a three-dimensional environment that includes a reservoir modeled by a three-dimensional grid model, representing the discrete natural fracture via a multisegment model in a two-dimensional region within the three-dimensional grid model, defining at least one connection for fluid communication between the multisegment model and the three-dimensional grid model, defining boundary conditions for the multisegment model, and solving the multisegment model subject to the at least one connection and the boundary conditions to provide values for fluid flow in the two-dimensional region. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
