Fracturing Well Production Dynamic Simulation in Fractured Tight Sandstone Gas Reservoir

Abstract:

The tight sandstone formation usually has natural fracture, which is the foundation of effective development using hydraulic fracturing. The conventional reservoir productivity simulation method don't adapt to it. In this paper, Warren & Root model was used for describing infinity tight fractured reservoir model with vertical hydraulic fractures. Then, assuming the fracture length and the width does not vary with time and formation pressure, fracture seepage equation was obtained in base of the one-dimensional flow Darcy percolation equation and continuity equation. By Stehfese, a method of numerical inverse transformation, production performance simulation model was established for natural fractured tight sandstone reservoir. Taking for actual example from Daqing oilfield, affection of characteristics of natural fractures and artificial fracture parameters on productivity of natural fractured tight sandstone reservoir were analyzed. Elastic storability ratio has a greater influence than interporosity flow coefficient. It was the core technique for the gas reservoir to effective development by large amount of fluid and low sand ratio.
