Abstract

In recent years, unconventional reservoirs have drawn tremendous attention worldwide. This special issue collects a series of recent works on various fractal-based approaches in unconventional reservoirs. The topics covered in this introduction include fractal characterization of pore (throat) structure and its influences on the physical properties of unconventional rocks, fractal characteristics of crack propagation in coal and fluid flow in rock fracture network under shearing, porous flow phenomena and gas adsorption mechanism, fractal geophysical method in reservoirs.
