Abstract：Fractured carbonate reservoir is one of the most important reservoir types in the world, and its flow mechanisms has been a hot but challenging research topic in petroleum engineering.With the deepening exploration and development, many deep fractured marine carbon reservoirs have been discovered.However, the existing theories cannot accurately characterize the fluid flow mechanisms.Based on the extensive investigation on the existing theories and methods, the flow capacity characterization of fractures, the fluid exchange between different porous mediums and the mathematical models are reviewed systematically, and the prospect of future development and researches of flow theory in this kind of reservoir are also presented in this paper.Moreover, the results can be used to guide the development of similar reservoirs around the world.
