Advance of studies on thermo-hydro-mechanical interaction in oil reservoir in China

The theory of fluid-solid coupling concerning oil reservoir has attracted increasingly great interests of Chinese scholars and thereby become an issue of studies of oil reservoir engineering and relevant fields. The problem of thermo-hydro-mechanics in oil reservoir engineering that allows no neglect is introduced systematicly first and then the major methods for studying and research results are reported, finally the trend and front direction of the studies under consideration are prospected.
