Fracture Transfer

Fracture Transfer is a conceptual framework in petroleum reservoir engineering that characterizes the mechanism and efficiency of fluid flow from low-permeability matrix blocks to high-permeability fracture networks in naturally fractured reservoirs through transient pressure-driven imbibition and drainage processes.
