Due to complexity and heterogeneity of the geological patterns of fractured reservoirs recovery estimations are considered to be extremely challenging. These fractures form complicated paths for reservoir characterization and fluid movement that ultimately impacts production performance and recovery.

Analytical and visual assessment of fluid flow in fractured medium Canbolat, Serhat; Parlaktuna, Mahmut (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-01) Most reservoirs consist of natural and artificial fractures, including isolated microscopic fissures. These fractures form complicated paths for reservoir characterization and fluid movement that ultimately impacts production performance and ultimate recovery. That's why recovery estimations of fractured reservoirs are considered to be extremely challenging due to complexity and heterogeneity of the geological patterns.
Multiphase-flow properties of fractured porous media Rangel-German, Edgar; Akın, Serhat; Castanier, Louis (Elsevier BV, 2006-05-16) Water-air imbibition and oil-water drainage displacements were conducted using a laboratory flow apparatus in fractured sandstone systems. During the experiments, porosity and saturation were measured along the core using a Computerized Tomography (CT) scanner. 3-D saturation images were reconstructed to observe matrix-fracture interactions. Differences in fluid saturations and relative permeabilities caused by changes of fracture width have also been analyzed. In the case of water-air imbibition, narrower ...
Geotechnical rock-mass evaluation of the Anamur dam site, Turkey Ozsan, A; Karpuz, Celal (Elsevier BV, 1996-03-01) This paper describes a feasibility-level geotechnical evaluation carried out at Anamur dam site, in terms of stability analysis of dam foundation, excavation slopes and a diversion tunnel. The proposed Anamur dam will be built across the Anamur river on the Alanya metamorphic series which consists of phyllite, schist and slate units at the site. Geotechnical investigations included drilling for core, pumping tests, sampling for laboratory testing, and a detailed discontinuity survey.
Fracture effect limitation on residual oil saturation & visualization by computer tomography Canbolat, Serhat; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2018) Recovery estimations of fractured reservoirs are considered to be extremely challenging due to complexity and heterogeneity of the geological patterns. Most reservoirs consist of natural and artificial fractures, including isolated microscopic fissures. These fractures form complicated paths for reservoir characterization and fluid movement that ultimately impacts production performance and ultimate recovery. In naturally fractured reservoirs, the matrix is the dominant storage area, while the main flowing ...
Stability Charts for the Collapse of Residual Soil in Karst DRUMM, Eric C.; Akturk, Oezguer; Akgün, Haluk; Tutluoğlu, Levend (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-07-01) Collapse of the residual soil over bedrock cavities often occurs during construction in karst terrain, particularly when the thickness of the residuum is reduced during excavation. Even if an estimate of the strength of the residual soil is known, uncertainty with respect to the size/geometry of the subterranean voids makes a detailed analysis difficult, and straightforward methods to check the stability are needed. In this study, numerical analyses were performed to develop a stability chart expressed in t...
