Figure 14 – Cumulative production error (relative to reference cumulative)
with and without transmissibility corrections versus time.
Case c) 3D Limited height single fracture constant pressure production
We now consider a 3D problem with a single limited height fracture (Table 3). Figures 15 and
16 display the production rate and cumulative production as well as the cumulative relative
production error with and without transmissibility corrections. As for the 2D problems, the new
corrections lead to a clear improvement in this case.
