Abstract
The contribution of gravity drainage as a main production mechanism in fractured reservoirs has not previously been considered in the General Material Balance Equation (MBE). Although the traditional MBE for conventional oil and gas reservoirs has been modified and applied to fractured reservoirs, none of them explicitly incorporated the Gravity Drainage (GRD) mechanism. In this study, the MBE is reconstructed for fractured reservoirs to consider the effects of gravity drainage and reimbibition phenomena in the equation. This is realized using historical records of gas-oil contact level data in vertical fractures. The gravity drainage is numerically modeled in a series of synthetic cases (single matrix block and stacks of two and three matrix blocks), employing the finely gridded single porosity concept. A numerical computer program is developed to simulate the fluids' flow through the matrix and fracture system. Historical records of gas-oil contact in the vertical fractures, reservoir pressure, and production data are analyzed with the developed material balance equation to quantify the contribution of gravity drainage and all other active production mechanisms. Over 97% agreement is observed between the calculated oil production by gravity drainage based on our developed MBE and simulation results.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
