This diploma thesis focuses on examining the fluid flow in a fractured reservoir, as well as the simultaneous flow of fracture/matrix systems. Fractured reservoirs have many differences comparing with the conventional ones. A reservoir might be naturally fractured, but also fracturing is a technique that is applied in the subsurface sediments, in order to improve the oil recovery during the production. In addition, there is an extensive description of the recovery mechanisms of a fractured reservoir, according to the literature, although it is still a complicated issue the way that the fractures contribute to the hydrocarbon recovery and the performance of a reservoir.Finally, it is mentioned the use of tracers applications in the oil field. Particularly, in this study, tracers are involved to understand and visualize, in some manner, the fluid flow in a fractured reservoir.
