Numerical Simulation of the Non-Darcy Flow Based on Random Fractal Micronetwork Model for Low Permeability Sandstone Gas Reservoirs

Darcy’s law is not suit for describing high velocity flow in the near wellbore region of gas reservoirs. The non-Darcy coefficient β of the Forchheimer’s equation is a main parameter for the evaluation of seepage capacity in gas reservoirs. The paper presented a new method to calculate β by performi...
