Fracture is a nonconstanly rock movement that usually seen as a separation in rock feature locally made and has natural sequence. Most of geological formations on top of earth crust crack at some parts of it. The fracture represents mechanical failure of rock stability because of geological pressure such as plate tectonics, lithostatic pressure exchange, thermal pressure, high pressure fluids, drilling activity, and even fluids movement, because fluids has a role as burden in the overburden rock. Even though, petroleum reservoar rocks can be found in most of depth, in deeper depth, the overburden pressure is enough to deform sedimentary rock plastically. It cannot hold on from shear pressure for a long period and flows until balanced state.

Fracture can appear as a long micro rock separation in micrometer or continental fault until thousands of kilometers. It can be limited by a rock formation or a layer of rock, a fracture is a nonconstanly straight or curve line because brittle deformation process in earth crust. The plane is a weak part of rock’s feature from pressure exchange on earth crust because of fracture from one or more different ways, depends on pressure direction and type of rock. A fracture contain 2 uncommon rock’s surface, and contact each other. Volume between surfaces is called by fracture gap.

Relative permeability from fracture and porous generate secondary porosity of limestone that has been tested with simplified model which has been developed by Erlich, 1971. It contains isolated porous in matrix, and connected porous with one or two direction cracks. Porous and fracture that connected is expressed with probability f, that indicates degree between porous connection with fracture. Value variation f from 0 – 1 is ilustrated in image below. The example of relation between fracture and porous, shows comparative size in matrix with probability fracture factor f = 0,5. Residual saturation of oil has been evaluated by Erlich model with dimension of 12 x 12 with random process based on probability realtion between porous and fracture. In this case, there are 312 fracture location possibilities. If some of the fracture filled with oil and water, transmigration process can be simulated. For water and oil transmigration, residual saturation of oil is used as parameter function f. Product of this simulation has been compard with core data and adjusment, shows no execption in core with huge secondary porosity, where transmigration cannot be mixed and value of residual saturation is producted separately. This model on fracture-matrix part known as pseudo-function so it is possible to make a better closure to transmigration evaluation.

Physical parameter of fluids and rock that effects flow in the fractured media are density, viscosity, surface tension, bazaar properties, fracture length, fractured wall roughness, and tilt degree. First thing that must be known is 2 phases flow in relative permeability which can be seen in simplified model Romm, 1966., that produce 10 until 20 paralel fracture. Saturation is counted with electric resistance value and evaluated permeability of velocity flow of fluids, water, and kerogen. The result will show linear tred of diagram Kf vs saturation. It also determine the limit value of 2 phase from unreducted fracture flow become a result of a fracture. Relation between fractures can be modified each flow characteristics perfectly.
