Abstract This study presents an avant-garde approach for predicting and optimizing production in tight reservoirs,
employing a dual-medium unsteady seepage model specifically fashioned for volumetrically fractured horizontal
wells. Traditional models often fail to fully capture the complex dynamics associated with these unconventional
reservoirs. In a significant departure from these models, our approach incorporates an initiation pressure gradient
and a discrete fracture seepage network, providing a more realistic representation of the seepage process. The model
also integrates an enhanced fluid-solid interaction, which allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the
fluid-structure interactions in the reservoir. This is… More >
