Abstract:

Based on the problem for the starting pressure gradient and strong stress sensitivity for the low permeability reservoirs,the paper has established the production formula for horizontal wells with hydraulic fractures in different circumstances.If horizontal wells with hydraulic fractures are not partially perforated,the established production formula will be an effective method,and if horizontal wells with hydraulic fractures are partially perforated,the Langzhaoxin production formula will be an effective method instead of other different methods for horizontal wells with hydraulic fractures.The established production formula of the horizontal wells with hydraulic fractures has an important theoretical and practical meanings for low permeability reservoirs.

Key words:  low permeability reservoir, hydraulic fracturing, horizontal well, production, development
