Abstract:

A computation model for calculating the skin factor of directional wells in the anisotropic reservoir is developed based on the theory of coordination conversion in order to study the influence of the law of flow on skin factor. Based on this model, the skin factor caused by well deviation and formation damage varying with deviation angle and azimuth angle is studied. It is found that the well bore track of directional well plays an important role on skin factor in the anisotropic reservoir. The decrease of deviation angle will result in the increase of skin factor caused by well deviation. The decrease of deviation or azimuth angle will result in the increase of skin factor caused by formation damage. This model has wide applicability and may provide some information for studying the productivity of directional well.

Key words: anisotropy, directional well, skin factor, formation damage, well bore track
