Abstract: Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is usually applied to shale gas, which can reduce reservoir stress sensitivity, improve production and increase the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) of gas wells. However, the frequent change of working system leads to the fluctuation of production data, and brings new challenges to accurately EUR prediction. Therefore, based on the analysis of data processing methods, the method of noise reduction for data fluctuation is firstly completed, and the data can effectively converge in the double logarithmic coordinate after using pressure normalization production and material balance time. Then, the EUR model of shale gas well is established based on the data characteristics after noise reduction. Finally, a new evaluation method of EUR for shale gas wells is proposed. Compared with the results of the new method and classical method based on the field production data of the shale gas well, the new method is proved reliable. It is easier to operate and calculate than the classical method, which is difficult to fit due to multiple parameters. Therefore, this method can be applied to quick EUR evaluation of shale gas wells.
