Fractured Horizontal Wells

Summary This paper presents an analytical trilinear-flow solution to simulate the pressure-transient and production behaviors of fractured horizontal wells in unconventional shale reservoirs (Ozkan et al. 2009). The model is simple, but versatile enough to incorporate the fundamental petrophysical characteristics of shale reservoirs, including the intrinsic properties of the matrix and the natural fractures. Special characteristics of fluid exchange among various reservoir components may also be considered. Computational convenience of the trilinear-flow solution makes it a practical alternative to more rigorous but computationally intensive and time-consuming solutions. Another advantage of the trilinear-flow solution is the convenience in deriving asymptotic approximations that provide insight about potential flow regimes and the conditions leading to these flow regimes. Though linear- and bilinear-flow regimes have been noted for fractured horizontal wells in the literature on the basis of their diagnostic features, they have not been associated with particular reservoir characteristics and flow relationships. The trilinear-flow solution also provides a suitable algorithm for the regression analysis of pressure-transient tests in shale reservoirs.
