A Fully Mass Conservative Numerical Method for Multiphase Flow in Fractured Porous Reservoirs
Numerical methods that are mass conservative, computationally stable, and efficient are essential for simulating multiphase flow in fractured porous reservoirs. In this paper, a fully mass conservative numeric...

Experimental Study of the Simultaneous Initiation of Multiple Hydraulic Fractures Driven by Static Fatigue and Pressure Shock
One of the most important challenges in horizontal well fracturing is to create multiple tightly-spaced hydraulic fractures (HFs) within each fracturing stage in tight reservoirs, especially with the strong he...

Production analysis in shale gas reservoirs based on fracturing-enhanced permeability areas
Hydraulic fracturing has been widely applied in shale gas exploitation because it improves the permeability of the rock matrix. Fracturing stimulation parameters such as the pum** rate, the fracturing sequen...

Open AccessThief zone identification based on transient pressure analysis: a field case study
Thief zones are generally a channel with high absolute permeability. However, a not very strict theory analysis shows that neglecting the effect of variant of water saturation on formation of thief zone in mat...

Microfluidic analysis of pressure drop and flow behavior in hypertensive micro vessels
The retinal arterial network is the only source of the highly nutrient-consumptive retina, thus any insult on the arteries can impair the retinal oxygen and nutrient supply and affect its normal function. The ...

Stability of natural convection of power-law fluid and non-Darcy flow in porous media
In the present work the effect of the power law exponent of power-law fluid and non-Darcy number of non-Darcy flow on stability of natural convection in porous media are studied. The computation analysis of ef...
