摘　　要：The seepage characteristics of shale reservoirs are influenced not only by multi-field coupling effects such as stress field,temperature field,and seepage field but also exhibit evident creep characteristics during oil and gas exploitation.The complex fluid flow in such reservoirs is analyzed using a combination of theoretical modeling and numerical simulation.This study develops a comprehensive mathematical model that integrates the impact of creep on the seepage process,with consideration of factors including stress,strain,and time-dependent deformation.The model is validated through a series of numerical experiments,which demonstrate the significant influence of creep on the seepage behavior.The results indicate that the rock mechanical parameters and creep constitutive model were determined through triaxial compression tests and uniaxial creep tests.A creep-seepage coupling control equation for shale was established based on the Burgers creep model.The absolute value of the volumetric strain of shale increases rapidly in the initial creep stage,and the increase in vertical stress accelerates the rock’s creep deformation.During the deceleration creep stage,the volumetric strain of the reservoir increases rapidly,leading to a significant decrease in permeability.In the stable creep stage,the pores and fractures in the rock are further compressed,causing a gradual reduction in permeability,which eventually stabilizes.
