Abstract

The main objective of this paper is understanding the phenomenal anomalous diffusion flow mechanisms in unconventional fractured porous media. The targets are hydraulically fractured unconventional reservoirs characterized by porous media with scomplex structures. These media are consisted of a matrix and naturally induces fractures embedded in the matrix as well as hydraulic fractures.
