Abstract

According to the seepage characteristics of fractured horizontal wells,a constant production mathematic model was established for the fractured horizontal wells in low permeability gas reservoirs.The model takes into account the stress sensitive effect and the influence of water saturation.Through the numerical simulation,the influence of the permeability,water saturation,fracture number,fracture semi-length,horizontal section length on the productivity of fractured horizontal gas wells is analyzed.The dynamic variation curves of gas production rate and recovery degree under different parameters are obtained,and the influence of different parameters on the dynamic change curve was analyzed.The results show that the smaller the permeability and water saturation,the greater the effects on recovery degree.Permeability is less than 0.1×10-3μm2.There is a significant reduction in the stable time and recovery degree,so reservoir permeability less than 0.1×10-3μm2 is the focus of the horizontal well parameter optimization.For the known fracture number,the lower the permeability,the shorter of the proper length of the horizontal well.For the known horizontal well length,the lower the permeability,the more reasonable the fracture number and the greater the reasonable fracture semi-length.For a specific gas reservoir,under the given condition of reservoir basic parameters,the fracture number,the fracture length and the horizontal section length are not the bigger the better.There should be an optimal matching.
