It is indicated that the fluid flow does not abide by the Darcy law in certain low permeability reservoirs. The results of pressure date analysis in these low permeability reservoirs would be inaccurate when generalized using Darcy flow models. To improve analysis results, based on the concept of variable permeability effect, the dual non-Darcy coupling flow model is established in this paper. The iterative algorithm is adopted to solve the differential set of equations. This work also describes the pressure behaviors by pressure response curves.
