What this post is about

We highlight a URTEC 2023 paper on triple porosity (sand, shale, and fracture) reservoir modelling using 6X. It was presented at URTEC 2023, Theme 8, by Manohar Gaddipati (NITEC LLC).

The work to read in depth is the peer conference paper linked from that article:

An Integrated Triple-porosity Reservoir Modeling Case Study to Evaluate/Improve Well Spacing in Uinta Basin.
M. Gaddipati (NITEC LLC), J. Hervey, R. Zaback, M. Boyce, K. Babcock, O. Apaydin (KODA Resources), T. Firincioglu (NITEC LLC)
