Abstract


The article considers the problem of determining the performance of a gas horizontal well. An analysis of existing national and foreign scientific works on the stated problem of gas inflow modeling is carried out. The obtained mathematical model is presented, and consists of an equation of gas inflow from a reservoir, based on the theory of single source potential, and an equation of gas flow through a pipe. A joint solution of these two equations allows one to determine the gas well flow rate, build the velocity and a bottomhole pressure profiles. A comparison of the calculation results with the deliverables provided by the tNavigator software package is performed, showing a good convergence. The proposed methodology, implemented in a calculation program, can be used to conduct multi-variant calculations and select the operating mode of a gas well.

Key words:

gas reservoir, horizontal well, homogeneous anisotropic formation, wellbore trajectory, developing flow, pressure distribution, flow resistance, steady state, well performance, reservoir properties
