Abstract: Fracture reservoirs contain most of the oil reserves of the Middle East. Such reservoirs are poorly understood and recovery from fractured reservoirs is typically lower than those from conventional reservoirs loaded the fracture dip and dip azimuth data of fractures from 10 wells using Petrel 2013. Generated fracture intensity log and interpreted fracture data was used to make stereonet plots to study the fracture orientation. The N130 fracture repartition in the tertiary is intimately related to the proximity of large faults and the maximum density is reached in a crestal position. Fracture density increases over some structural surfaces as Jeribe and Anah limestones which systematically appear as the most competent/"fracturable" formations. Permeability expected consistency between the fracture corridor occurrence and the highest values of permeability. The permeability ranges between 2 and 1000 mD. Results of fracture upscaling; the fracture porosity ranges between 0.0004 and 0.06 p.u. fracture-matrix coupling (sigma) ranges between 0 and 1 1/ft2.
