The Influence of Micro-Fractures on the Flow in Tight Oil Reservoirs Based on Pore-Network Models

In this paper, the influence of micro-fractures on the flow of tight reservoirs is studied on the microscopic scale. Three-dimensional digital cores of fractured tight sandstone with varying fracture apertures, lengths, and dip angles are constructed using computed tomography (CT) scans. Pore-networ...
