Appendix A

List of Documented
Fractured Reservoirs

An excellent compilation of fractured reservoirs in the United States is

found in Hubbert and Willis (1955). In the 45 years since publication of that
work, many new and more detailed reports of specific fractured reservoirs
have been added to the literature. Table A - I represents a compilation of
published data on fractured reservoirs based on Hubbert and Willis (1955),
Chilingar et al. (1972), and Daniel (1954) with personal additions through
2000 and Venezuela additions from E Chartegui. In addition, selected fields
have also been included from a 100 field fractured reservoir data compila-
tion by C & C Reservoir Analogs. The 370 or so fields on this list produced
from fractures of virtually every mode of origin and rock type. While addi-
tions can be made, this list includes a sufficient number of fields and a suf-
ficient amount of reserves to document the impact of naturally occurring
fracture systems in the exploration for petroleum reserves.
Table A-2 presents a subset of Table A - I , which has been studied in de-
tail by the author. These fields are listed with greater quantitative detail.
