Mixed Finite Element Simulation with Stability Analysis for Gas Transport in Low-Permeability Reservoirs

Natural gas exists in considerable quantities in tight reservoirs. Tight formations are rocks with very tiny or poorly connected pors that make flow through them very difficult, i.e., the permeability is very low. The mixed finite element method (MFEM), which is locally conservative, is suitable to...
