The primary and secondary recovery prediction in naturally fractured reservoirs may be made as complex as wanted. The problem of using sophisticated numerical simulation techniques lies on the difficulty of obtaining meaningful input data. However, when the quality of the data is good, it is possible to successfully use a variety of numerical methods. Experience has shown that usually the gas-oil ratio increases more sharply in naturally fractured reservoirs than in conventional ones once the reservoir has reached the bubble point. Based on this observation, a combination of various techniques of profile interpreting and reservoir engineering was attempted. A relatively simple method is presented that allows primary and secondary recovery forecasting in a naturally fractured reservoir. The method is not a panacea and, as with every technique based on theoretical models, should be used prudently.
