抄録

We present a formulation for a fractal fracture network embedded into a Euclidean matrix. Single-phase flow in the fractal object is described by an appropriate modification of the diffusivity equation. The system's pressure-transient response is then analyzed in the absence of matrix participation and when both the fracture network and the matrix participate. The results obtained extend previous pressure-transient and well-testing methods to reservoirs of arbitrary (fractal) dimensions and provide a unified description for both single- and dual-porosity systems. Results may be used to identify and model naturally fractured reservoirs with multiple scales and fractal properties.
