PRESSURE-RESTORATION CURVE FOR A FRACTAL CRACKED MEDIUM

The problem on flow of a single-phase, weakly compressible 
fluid in a cracked medium with the fractal geometry of cracks has 
been considered. The problem on the pressure-restoration curve has 
been solved in the approximation of an axisymmetric flow near the 
well. The corrections to the formula obtained in the classical theory 
of filtration for the pressure-restoration curve have been computed 
for the case where the dimension of a system of cracks is close to 
the dimension of a confining volume.
