Paper Title
Transient Flow Model of Hydraulically Fractured Horizontal Well in Tight Oil Reservoir
Abstract
This paper presents a transient flow model for fractured horizontal well in tight oil reservoir based on discrete
fracture model considering the effects of TPG, stress sensitivity, fracture parameters and distribution. Solve the model with
finite volume method, then perform sensitivity analysis. The results show thatthe pressure derivative curve turns upward
when the TPG is considered, the upward degree will increase with the increasing TPG, thus, it becomes harder to divide flow
regimes; the pressure derivative curve turns upwardin late flow period with consideration of stress sensitivity effect; the
fracture radial flow and formation radial flow become harder to form with the increase of fracture half-length; the fracture
conductivity has large influence on early flow period.
