A new flow model in triple media carbonate reservoir is established. There exists a triple total system including the matrix, fracture and vug subsystem, and the three subsystems are relatively independent in physical properties; in the process of oil flow, the inter-porosity flow of the vug subsystem to fracture subsystem would occur and the inter-porosity flow of the matrix subsystem to fracture subsystem would also occur and ignore the inter-porosity flow between the matrix subsystem and vug subsystem. Compared with the traditional model (the inter-porosity flow of vug to fracture is pseudo-steady), the new model considers the unsteady inter-porosity flow, based on the hypothesis that the shape of vug is spherical. The new model is illustrated and solved, and the standard type curves are drawn up, so the process and characteristics of flow are analysed thoroughly, and it is found that the new-style type curves in shape and characteristics are evidently different from the type curves of traditional model. The research would not only deepen the understanding of flow law but also enrich the theoretical models for carbonate reservoir. The research results on this new model could be applied to a real case study.View full textDownload full textKeywordsflow model, flow characteristics, triple media, carbonate reservoir, pressure dynamicRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10618562.2011.560573
