- This paper contributes to an 40 year old challenge of modelling spontaneous imbibition (DOI:10.1007/s11242-018-01229-z). Ideas from it have been used by independent authors (DOI:10.1007/s11242-019-01349-0 and DOI:10.1016/j.jngse.2019.01.012). It forms an essential pillar of a £165k project with Total SA in which we explore the implications of the findings for operations of Total in fractured reservoirs [Contact: Total]. Its numerical implementation is part of the dual porosity module of the widely used free and open-source reservoir simulator MRST (sintef.no/MRST, 5k-10k downloads per year).
