Features: The seepage in low-permeability oil layers is a significant field in the development of seepage mechanics, representing highly applied fundamental research. In-depth study of the seepage mechanisms and characteristics in low-permeability oil layers holds great importance for the advancement of seepage science and the rational development of low-permeability oilfields. Based on the practical problems encountered in the development of low-permeability and fractured low-permeability oil reservoirs, this book summarizes previous achievements and employs techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance, constant-rate mercury injection, physical simulation, and reservoir numerical simulation to investigate the seepage mechanisms and patterns in low-permeability oil reservoirs. It has yielded new insights, providing theoretical guidance for the better development of such oilfields. The development technology of low-permeability oil reservoirs is a vast, complex, and highly technical systematic engineering. Due to the urgency of time and the limited expertise of the author, errors and inaccuracies are inevitable, and readers are kindly requested to point them out. This book systematically introduces new concepts in seepage fluid dynamics, the influence of the adsorption boundary layer on seepage, the production rules and dynamic utilization conditions of low-permeability oil reservoirs.
