Abstract

The present work is dedicated to studying the transfer of natural gas in shale formations. The governing model was developed on the basis of the model of dual-porosity dual-permeability (DPDP). The mixed finite element method (MFEM) is employed to solve the governing equations numerically. Numerical example is presented and results discussed such as production cumulative rate, pressure and apparent permeability.
