摘要
This article expounds on the recent advancement of the technology all around the world through the following three aspects: shale gas occurrence and flow mechanism, gas reservoir modeling, as well as theoretical study and application of numerical simulation. It suggests that four issues remain to be improved and further probed: (1)Improving reservoir modeling to take the effect of organic matte into consideration; (2)Expounding more on flow mechanism and main controlling factors of single-phase gas desorption, diffusion and percolation, and establishing mathematical model and numerical model for two-phase(gas/water)flow; (3)Understanding the importance of accurate modeling of natural and induced fractures to shale gas reservoir numerical simulation, and combining related results of other detecting techniques in practical application; (4)Establishing corresponding standards and norms for shale gas reservoir numerical simulation.
