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.

Stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) with large fracture networks can be generated near hydraulic fractured vertical wells (HFVWs) in tight oil reservoirs. Statistics show that natural microfractures and fracture networks stimulated by SRV were self-similar in statistical sense. Currently, various analytical models have been presented to study pressure behaviors of HFVWs in tight oil reservoirs. However, most of the existing models did not take the distribution and self-similarity of fractures into consideration. To account for stimulated characteristic and self-similarity of fractures in tight oil reservoirs, a mixed-fractal flow model was presented. In this model, there are two distinct regions, stimulated region and unstimulated region. Dual-porosity model and single porosity model were used to model stimulated and unstimulated regions, respectively. Fractal geometry is employed to describe fractal permeability and porosity relationship (FPPR) in tight oil reservoirs. Solutions for the mixed-fractal flow model were derived in the Laplace domain and were validated among range of the reservoir parameters. The pressure transient behavior and production rate derivative were used to analyze flow regimes. The type curves show that the fluid flow in HFVWs can be divided into six main flow periods. Finally, effect of fractal parameters and SRV size on flow periods were also discussed. The results show that the SRV size and fractal parameters of fracture network have great effect on the former periods and fractal parameters of matrix mainly influence the later flow periods.
