Foreword
Continental tight oil and gas reservoirs in China have enormous development potential because of their abundance and significant hydrocarbon in-place. They are important targets of oil and gas exploration and development, and will play an increasingly important role in oil and gas production in the future. Compared with conventional reservoirs and tight reservoirs of marine facies in North America, continental tight reservoirs in China are more complex because: i. they possess stronger micro- and macro-heterogeneities on multiple scales from pores to fractures; ii. fluid flow needs to be described by multi-continuum multi-scale models; iii. horizontal wells and multi-stage hydraulic fractures add to the complexity of the reservoir. Conventional reservoir simulation methodologies are hardly applicable to these tight reservoirs. Unconventional reservoir simulation for tight oil and gas reservoir still r
