Abstract
Summary
This paper discusses the modelling of the fluid flow process to the well in the presence of fractures (inclusions) with different permeability. The fracture may be either natural, in case of tectonic fault, or artificial, in case of well simulation, and it may have various permeability values. Therefore, oil filtration modelling in fractured reservoirs is also interesting from the point of view of application for hydraulic fracturing. Skin effect is one of the most important parameter for evaluation the productivity of the well, therefore the expression for skin is defined in the paper for different locations of the well and the fracture and for different values of fracture conductivity.
