“…Consequently, the Couette equation can be used for analytical modeling because it has a quadratic flow profile that is an exact solution for the Navier-Stokes equation; this equation is similar to cubic law and/or Boussinesq's formula. The cubic law estimates the fluid flow rate for flow through fractures systems; usually, this equation is used in naturally fractured tectonic reservoirs (NFTRs), considering the laminar flow of a viscous fluid between parallel flat plates (Barros-Galvis et al 2015;Potter and Wiggert 2007). On the other hand, Singh and Sharma (2001) used an extension of the three dimensional Couette flow to study the channel flow and the effect of the permeability of the porous medium.…”

This study presents analytical models for naturally fractured tectonic reservoirs (NFTRs), which essentially correspond to type I fractured reservoirs, including the effects of the nonlinear gradient term for radial flow, single phase (oil), for constant rate in an infinite reservoir. Using an exact solution of Navier-Stokes equation and Cole-Hopf transform, NFTRs have been modeled. Our models are applied for fissured formations with extensive fractures. Smooth and rough extension fractures were analyzed using single and slab flow geometries. The motivation for this study was to develop a real and representative model of a NFTR, with extension fractures to describe its pressure behavior. A discussion is also presented with field examples, regarding the effect of a quadratic gradient term and the difference between the nonlinear and linear pressure solutions, comparing the Darcy laminar flow equation, with the exact solution of the Navier-Stokes equation applied to the diffusion equation and boundary conditions in wellbore.

“…In developing this equation, we combine: a continuity equation or law of conservation of mass, a flow law such as the Couette's equation, and an equation of state (Barros-Galvis 2015). A linear diffusivity equation depicting the flow of incompressible liquid in a fractured medium can be obtained.…”
