Abstract
The present disclosure relates to modeling the flow of fracturing fluid in a subterranean formation. Fluid flow within the reservoir media in a subterranean formation is modeled by a reservoir block flow model. Fluid flow within a fracture network in the reservoir is modeled by a fracture network flow model. Fluid flow between the fracture network and the reservoir media is modeled by an interface flow model. Output data are generated based on coupling the fracture network flow model, the reservoir block flow model, and the interface flow model. The output data represent characteristics of fracturing fluid leak-off from the fracture network into the reservoir media.
