Notional Field Development Final Report - EBN

EBN Notional Field Development Plan
For the purpose of simulation, the Posidonia formation interval was divided into 35 layers where each
layer represented 1m in thickness. Average values of porosity and water saturation were then extracted
from the log data and assigned to their respective layers within the finite difference numerical simulator
(QuikLook®).

Fracture geometries were created by the hydraulic fracture specialist and used as an input into the
simulation model. Figure 3-23, Planar Fracture Design for Posidonia Formation below is the planar
fracture geometry used for the Posidonia Shale. 20/40 Mesh RC proppant was used to model hydraulic
fractures. To account for embedment and loss of fracture propagation, these fractures were penalized
as indicated by the fracture model design.
