Abstract

Realistic modeling of shale gas reservoir is an important issue in these days. For the accurate modeling of shale reservoir, distinguishing features of shale should be considered. Natural fracture system can be simplified to dual porosity and dual permeability models. These models present the system as an orthogonal set of intersecting fractures and cubic matrix blocks. Adsorption of hydrocarbon gas in the matrix surface is also considered with Langmuir isotherm.
