Block M of the Ordos Basin is a typical low-permeability tight sandstone gas accumulation. To develop these reservoirs, various horizontal well fracturing technologies, such as hydra-jet fracturing, open-hole packer multistage fracturing, and perf-and-plug multistage fracturing, have been implemented in practice, showing greatly varying performance. In this paper, six fracturing technologies adopted in Block M are reviewed in terms of principle, applicability, advantages, and disadvantages, and their field application effects are compared from the technical and economic perspectives. Furthermore, the main factors affecting the productivity of fractured horizontal wells are determined using the entropy method, the causes for the difference in application effects of the fracturing technologies are analyzed, and a comprehensive productivity impact index (CPII) in good correlation with the single-well production of fractured horizontal wells is constructed. This article provides a simple and applicable method for predicting the performance of multi-frac horizontal wells that takes multiple factors into account. The results can be used to select completion methods and optimize fracturing parameters in similar reservoirs.

Abstract Single well productivity is an important index to evaluate the effect of volume fracturing. However, there are many factors affecting the productivity of Multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) in unconventional reservoirs and the relationship is complex, which makes productivity prediction very difficult. In this paper, taking the tight oil reservoir in Songliao Basin as the research object, a new mixed model of initial cumulative oil production of MFHWs was established, which can consider the geological factors and volume fracturing factors at the same time. Firstly, based on the big data, the multi-level evaluation system was established by using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Then, the weight factor was calculated to uncover key factors that dominate productivity of MFHWs. Finally, the fuzzy logic method was used to calculate the Euclidean distance and quantitatively predict the production of any horizontal wells. The simulation results shown that: the order of the main factors affecting production in the study area was horizontal section sandstone length, number of stages, formation pressure, proppant amount, net pay thickness, permeability, porosity, oil saturation, fracturing fluid volume. The hybrid model has been applied to the productivity prediction of 185 MFHWs in tight oil reservoirs in China, the prediction error was less than 5%. The new model can be used to predict production for MFHWs quickly and economically.

Conventional productivity research method of fractured horizontal wells doesn’t meticulously describe the seepage characteristics of the near wellbore area. Based on the similarity of seepage field and temperature field, and ANSYS finite element software platform, this paper conducts the simulation calculation of the fractured horizontal wells’ productivity, shows the flow of near wellbore area, and analyzes the factors affecting the productivity on fractured horizontal well by using the heat flow field model in the ANSYS software platform. The results show that the larger the angle between fractures and horizontal wells, the higher the production. It is necessary to place the fractures stagger to the greatest extent, and the fracture spacing should be extended as much as possible in actual production. This optimization design of fractured horizontal well has a certain role in guiding.
