Dual-porosity reservoir

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001215

A reservoir model that describes formations with two distinct pore systems, such as fractured carbonates or naturally fractured shales. One system consists of high-permeability fractures, while the other comprises low-permeability matrix blocks. Fluid flow occurs primarily through the fractures, with the matrix blocks acting as storage for hydrocarbons that slowly feed into the fracture network.
