The afterflooding problem in a naturally fractured reservoir has been one of the most interesting problems in reservoir engineering and dynamics of flow through porous media for more than a decade. In this paper the correct basic equation describing two-phase flow through a medium with double porosity is given; its thorough study has been done by using the method of characteristics. The essential nature of oil displacement by water from naturally fractured reservoirs is revealed and clarified, thus giving a theoretical guide to efficiently producing oil from such reservoirs. This work can be considered as an extension of the well-known Buckley-Leverett theory of a medium with double porosity.
