Abstract

Horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing are the most effective technologies in the exploitation and development of tight gas reservoirs. Hydraulic fracturing with large volumes of proppant and water will not only create high conductivity primary fractures but also stimulate adjacent natural fractures. Fracture network forming around every hydraulic fracture yields a stimulated reservoir volume (SRV). A conceptual model which was based on a tight gas sand reservoir in Northeast China was established to analyze the effect of related parameters on the production of multi-fractured horizontal wells. In order to analyze the impacts of related parameters on production, a series of simulation scenarios and corresponding production performance were designed. Simulation results showed that the number of primary fractures, half length, SRV half-width and drop-down have great effects on the post-fracturing production. Formation anisotropies also control the production performance while the conductivity of the primary fractures and SRV permeability do not have much impact on production performance. Fracture number mainly affects the early time production performance. The increase of SRV width cannot broaden the drainage area of the multi-fractured horizontal wells, but it can really improve the recovery in its own drainage region. Permeability anisotropies have much effect on production rate, especially the late time production rate.
