Abstract: According to the mathematical models of fluid flow in reservoir and in horizontal wellbore, the percolation in reservoir coupled with the flow in horizontal wellbore in this paper, i.e. regarding the location where crude oil runs into wellbore as node, and the optimum well length was studied. The solution to optimum well length was derived and a presented example
demonstrated the reasonableness and feasibility of this approach. The study of this paper developed a methodology to calculate the optimum horizontal well length.

Key words: horizontal well, percolation model, coupling, optimum lengt
