For more complex scenarios, specialized modules add detail. Fracture Modeling (often via the "Kinetix" or similar fracture module) explicitly models natural fractures as discrete features, which dominate flow in tight reservoirs like shales. The Geomechanics module calculates stress and strain, predicting risks like sand production or caprock integrity loss during injection.
Often run concurrently with structural modeling, this module handles layering. petrel modules
Once the framework is built, these modules populate the 3D grid with properties like lithology (facies), porosity, and permeability. 3. Reservoir Engineering Modules For more complex scenarios, specialized modules add detail
