摘要
The fracture boundary with no flowing through has a significant influence on productivity evaluation and fracturing parameter optimization in a pseudo steady state (PSS). In this paper, the solution of pressure distribution in the PSS in a single hydraulic fracture with finite conductivity was derived incorporating an integral transformation method, and a novel productivity model of a multiple fractured horizontal well (MFHW) within rectangular formation was presented in coupling with material balance equation and pressure superposition. The model was solved using a Newton numerical iteration method. The model was used to calculate the productivity of a MFHW with regard to different fracturing parameters, and the corresponding optimum relationships were established by regressing the maximum derivatives of productivity with different fracturing parameters. The results show that the productivity of a MFHW is determined by the number of fractured sections, the spacing, length, conductivity and configuration of the fracture. The productivity can be enhanced via stimulating more fractures, reducing the interaction between fractures, restraining the no flow effect of fracture boundaries, and matching the inflow rate with that of the outflow rate of the fractures. The configuration of equally spaced multiple fractures is the optimal condition for fracture arrangement, and the optimum relation of dimensionless conductivity varies with the changes of length-width ratio and the fracture number. In practical application, a narrow parameter range around the optimum values should be selected as a reference for optimizing the fracturing parameters. © 2016, University of Petroleum, China.
