Enhancing oil-water flow simulation in shale reservoirs with fractal theory and meshless method

Introduction: Simulating oil and water flow in shale reservoirs is challenging due to heterogeneity caused by fractures. Conventional grid-based methods often have convergence issues. We propose a new approach using fractal theory and meshless methods to accurately model flow.Methods: A mathematical...
