A Numerical Multistage Fractured Horizontal Well Model Concerning Hilly-Terrain Well Trajectory in Shale Reservoirs with Natural Fractures

Multistage hydraulic fracturing is one of the most prevalent approaches for shale reservoir development. Due to complexity constructing environments experiments, numerical simulation a vital method study flow behavior under conditions. In this paper, we propose model that considers multistage fractured horizontal well with hilly-terrain trajectory in presence natural fractures. The was constructed based on MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox and used Embedded Discrete Fractured Model (EDFM) describe interrelationship between matrix, fractures, wellbore. then applied an actual condensate gas producing from reservoir, effects parameters data were studied case. results highly consistent production data, which validates accuracy proves its potential predicting future trends. We extended discussion two examples extreme trajectories by reviewing inflow contribution each fracture respect pressure, changes static pressure time. conclusion, proposed capable providing close reality thus guiding field design operation drilling process.
