Abstract: Fracturing is an important measure to increase production of low-permeability tight gas reservoir, and gas reservoir development performance prediction considering geological engineering integration is a hot issue in tight gas reservoir development. Large scale hydraulic fracturing will also lead to the difference of phase permeability between the reformed area and the unmodified area, and different reservoir types also correspond to different phase permeability relationships. Therefore, the integrated simulation of tight gas reservoir based differential on dissimilatory relative permeability is of great significance. This paper starts with the engineering geological integrated modeling process, introduces the differential relative permeability embedding method, and combines the three types of reservoir geology and relative permeability relationship to form a simulation process considering differential relative permeability. This simulation method can effectively solve the problem of poor fitting effect of water production in the early flowback stage. Through the simulation considering differential relative permeability, the development characteristics and development effects of three types of low-permeability tight gas reservoirs are analyzed, and the chart between dimensionless pressure drop and recovery degree is established to evaluate the development effects of gas reservoirs in different periods. The simulation results show that the residual gas saturation determines the lag time of gas production. The lower the residual gas saturation is, the longer the flowback period of the gas well is. Through the research of this paper, the influence law of different reservoir physical properties on development effect is revealed, which has important theoretical and practical significance for guiding the efficient development of tight gas reservoir.
