Epigenetic karstic systems in carbonate rocks commonly result from progressive dissolution
by acidic meteoric waters over thousands to millions of years. The generation of secondary …

Most existing coalbed methane (CBM) simulators usually treat coal seams as dual-porosity,
single-permeability systems ignoring the effects of water presence in the coal matrix. In this …

Conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, from an engineering and economic standpoint, are
the easiest and most cost-efficient deposits to develop and produce. However, as economic …

Giant reservoirs of the Middle East are crucial for the supply of oil and gas to the world
market. Proper simulation of these giant reservoirs with long history and large amount of …

Use of fractured reservoir simulators can help reservoir engineers in the understanding of
the main physical mechanisms and in the choice of the best recovery process and its …

This article is the first investigation on the dual permeability flow issue for horizontal well-
production in a naturally fractured dual-porosity reservoir. Based on the inter-porosity flow …

The triple porosity/dual permeability (TPDP) model is an advanced coalbed methane (CBM)
model for recovery simulation, which processes CBM flows via desorption and diffusion into …

A subterranean reservoir where the pore space of media or formation rock is multimodal,
and the media may have imbedded multiple scales of fracture networks, is simulated. The …

Abstract Giant reservoirs of Middle East contain substantial portion of the world's total
hydrocarbons. Accurate simulation of these reservoirs requires as many as billion cells. A …

It is essential to understand the hydraulic aperture behavior of rock fractures where fluid
passes through the rock mass. The geometric parameters of fracture, such as wall …
