Simulation of tight fluid flow with the consideration of capillarity and stress-change effect

Abstract The horizontal wells and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing technologies play a significantly important role in developing unconventional reservoirs. Due to the nanopore effects and stress deformation in tight formations, the fluid equilibrium and thermodynamics become more complex and the co...
