A New Model for Predicting Flow in Fractured-Vuggy Carbonate Reservoirs under Pseudosteady State Condition by Nai Cao, Gang Lei, Yuan Su, Hong Li, Jiali Zhang, Ci Zhang

“…The characterization of fluid flow in the fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoir under pseudosteady state condition is of significance in describing the productivity index (PI) of the well. However, due to complex mechanisms (e.g., stress dependency of reservoir properties and crossflow between different systems of the reservoirs) during flow in fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs, researches on productivity prediction in fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs under pseudosteady state are very limited. …”
