Abstract
Naturally Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs (NFCRs) need to be classified based on the detection and evaluation of the dominant discontinuities, integrating dynamic and static parameters. Discontinuities can display flow behaviors and geological features, that may behave according to a variety of reservoir static-dynamic models. An integral classification is essential for optimum reservoir management and hydrocarbon production.
