... to simulate single phase fluid flow. Most models were based on an existing geological model and many featured the aggregation of geological units when defining hydrostratigraphic units (HSUs). Conversely, many models featured the use of multiple numerical model layers to represent a single HSU...

... of their studies was to establish a coupled system combining fracturing mechanics with reservoir flow and to use two sets of separate grids for fluid flow in the fracture and in the matrix and fluid flow equations are sloved in the fracture with anylytical solution and in the matrix with finite difference method...

... velocity and the relationship between the seepage velocity and driving pressure is a curve, not a straight line. Fluid flow in low permeability porous media does not obeys Darcy's law any more, so traditional well testing interpretation methods may cause error in estimation of ultra-low permeability oil...

... a network of connected fractures such as Dual Porosity model. It is assumed that fracture network is primary continuum for fluid flow, the matrix of low permeability, high storativity is considered to be a sink/source to the fracture. The matrix and the fracture communicate through an exchange term which...

... In the process of the flow of the fluid flow in low permeability and tight porous media, flow pattern does not obey the linear Darcy percolation law, but it shows that there is a minimum start-up pressure gradient of nonlinear seepage. Therefore, the application of conventional reservoir...

... Abstract This paper presents a numerical model for simulating fluid flow and production from naturally fractured reservoir based on a flux continuous control volume mixed finite element approach. The main features of the present model are that it accounts for the heterogeneity of the fractured...

...Conclusion Algorithmic and computational details were given of a coupled fluid flow calculation in a commercial reservoir simulator with a finite element stress calculation. Comparisons were made of this method against a previously described finite difference technique for predicting...

... Abstract This paper adds a new dimension to fluid flow in porous media by replacing Darcy's equation with Forchheimer's equation, which in fact takes in consideration both Darcy and non-Darcy flow behaviors. Mathematical derivation of the diffusivity equation based on the Forchheimer equation...
