This book solves the open problems in fluid flow modeling through
the fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs. Fractured vuggy
carbonate reservoirs usually have complex pore structures, which
contain not only matrix and fractures but also the vugs and
cavities. Since the vugs and cavities are irregular in shape and
vary in diameter from millimeters to meters, modeling fluid flow
through fractured vuggy porous media is still a challenge. The
existing modeling theory and methods are not suitable for such
reservoir. It starts from the concept of discrete fracture and
fracture-vug networks model, and then develops the corresponding
mathematical models and numerical methods, including discrete
fracture model, discrete fracture-vug model, hybrid model and
multiscale models. Based on these discrete porous media models,
some equivalent medium models and methods are also
discussed. All the modeling and methods shared in this book offer
the key recent solutions into this area.
