This volume is dedicated to a global concept of fractured reservoirs.

For a better understanding of various concepts, the material presented is along the outlines of reservoir analysis:
- the first part is devoted t o reservoir description;
- the second part to flow towards a well and,
- the third part to the flow mechanism in a fractured reservoir.

The generation of fractures, their detection and the procedure to describe them by appropriate processing of all types of information is discussed in detail in the first part.

The flow in fractures, as well as the simultaneous flow of matrix-fracture systems is the basis of radial-symmetrical flow which is developed in detail in the second part.

In the third part, the complex flow mechanism and new concepts are presented in a unitarian approach for the three phases, gas-oil-water, where the role of gravitational and capillary forces show that the conventional roles of water-drive or solution gas-drive are completely modified in a fractured reservoir.
