Influence of Fracture Parameters on the Productivity of Fractured Horizontal Well Based on Fluid Mechanics in Tight Gas Reservoir

Article Preview

Abstract:

Multiple fractures are needed by hydraulic fracturing in order to improve the horizontal well productivity of a single well in tight gas reservoir. The calculation accuracy of productivity influences on the fracturing optimization results and the success ratio and effectiveness of fracturing treatment. This work focuses on analyzing the influence of fracture parameters on fractured horizontal well productivity in tight gas reservoir through establishing a productivity prediction model of fractured horizontal well, considering the interference between fracture and fracture and the wellbore pressure drop. Results show that the fracture parameters, such as fracture number, fracture interval, fracture conductivity and fracture length, have different influences on the productivity of fractured horizontal well and thus, the effects of fracture parameters should be taken into account when designing the fracturing treatment.
