Fractured reservoir is an important part of China’s oil and gas resources, which is a phenomenon that will be encountered in the exploitation of most oil and gas resources. However, there are many difficulties in the exploitation of fractured reservoirs, such as internal complexity, basic assumptions of models, fracture identification technology, computer hardware and so on. Therefore, we must consider the full coupling matrix finite element analysis, which will overcome the limitations of the traditional dual medium model and the discrete fracture network model. Through the full coupled matrix finite element analysis, we can establish a new numerical simulation of fractured reservoir. First, this paper analyzes the basic types of fractured reservoirs. Then, this paper analyzes the full coupling matrix finite element method.
