A fracture-matrix model is presented for multiphase flow in fractured porous media where oil
is recovered by spontaneous imbibition (SI) of injected water. Our aim is to investigate flow …

Production simulation from fractured shale reservoirs is often performed by simplifying the
hydraulic fractures as rectangular planes with homogeneous aperture. This study …

In addition to the gas present in the pores of the rock, shale also contains gas in the
adsorbed state within the surface of the organic matter within the formation. As the free gas …

Shale gas reservoirs are mainly characterized by their low matrix permeability, ranging from
sub-nanodarcies to tens of microdarcies, which makes the economic production of these …

Shale reservoirs are very different from normal conventional reservoirs. The porosity and
permeability are much lower in shale and require artificial stimulation (fracturing) to get any …
