Many naturally fractured reservoirs around the world have depleted significantly, and
improved-oil-recovery (IOR) processes are necessary for further development. Hence, the …

This paper reviews the heat transfer model for geothermal reservoirs, the fracture network in
reservoirs, and the numerical model of hydraulic fracturing. The first section reviews the heat …

Accurate calculation of multiphase-fluid transfer between the fracture and matrix in naturally
fractured reservoirs is a crucial issue. In this paper, we will present the viability of the use of …

Based on the theory of double‐porosity, a novel mathematical model for multiphase fluid
flow in a deforming fractured reservoir is developed. The present formulation, consisting of …

More than half of the world's oil reserves are hosted in limestone reservoirs. Oil recovery
from these reservoirs remains a challenge for the petroleum industry due to lack of …

Naturally fractured reservoirs contain a significant amount of the world oil reserves. The
production of this type of reservoirs constitutes a challenge for reservoir engineers. Use of …

A targeted heterogeneous medium in the form of an underground layered formation is
gridded into a layered structured grid or a layered semi-unstructured grid. The structured …

In the area of fractured reservoir modeling, conventional Dual Porosity Models is challenged
to flexibly simulate more than two porosity systems and it is also difficult to capture the …

Tight sandstone is an important oil reservoir in China which development is required water
flooding. During water flooding treatments, imbibition is proven to strongly affect oil …

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 …
