Abstract

Abstract:

Based on gas transient flow theory，the pseudo-pressure drop analytical solution of horizontal gas well was derived
according to Newman′s product principle and Green function，the transient deliverability model of plane herringbone horizontal
gas well was established with the coordinate conversion and pressure-drop superposition principle. Production of herringbone
gas well and inflow of each section were calculated by discrete computation. The rule of gas yield change and production time
was studied with the gas productivity model with nodal system analysis，and the lateral location，lateral angle and the number
of laterals were analyzed to obtain the appropriate location，the rational lateral angle，and the reasonable number of laterals，
which provide theoretical basis for optimization design of herringbone gas well.

Key words: herringbone horizontal well, transient flow, discrete computation, deliverability analysis, lateral configuration
optimum
