Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of predicting an amount of production from a fractured reservoir and a recorded medium for the method. The method of predicting an amount of production from a fractured reservoir can include: (a) generating a fracture network model, which includes discrete fractures, using fracture characteristic information; (b) generating a flow model for representing flow paths for a fluid between the discrete fractures using a 2-dimensional finite difference method; and (c) predicting the amount of production from the fractured reservoir using the flow model.
