    Summary. In a proposed phe- nomenological model for fracture copilary pressure, the fracture faces are assumed to be covered with ‘cones, each of which contacts the tip ‘of an opposing cone. Cones in con tact at the tip represent both rough- ness and aperture of a fracture surface. The solution to the Young- Laplace equation of eapileriy ie used to relate fracture capilary pressure (Pc) to saturation, The computed Pe! saturation results show @ porous medium behavior for fracture capil lary pressure. Experiments with a stack of small matrix blocks in a centrituge produced final measured production rates and matrixblock saturations that confirm the validity of the porous-medium mode! for frac: ture capillary pressure. In some cen- trifuge experiments, capillary pressures as nigh as 40 ps! [278 kPa] ‘could be imposed on the fractures of the stack of blocks. rae Capillary Pressure in Fractured Porous Media Abbas Firoozabadl,* SPE, and Jan Hauge, SPE, Norsk Hydro A/S Introduction sl be iferet.
