Abstract
This paper presents an integrated approach to investigate the impact of well spacing on the performance of tight oil and gas reservoirs depleted by advanced multi-stage hydraulic fracture in horizontal wellbores distributed parallelly in rectangular drainage areas. Thus, an analytical models has been developed considering different reservoir configurations and the associated flow rate, cumulative production, ultimate recovery has been recorded. Also, the pressure behavior for early stages of production conditions and the flow regime dominated by boundary effects has been analyzed. The results indicate that well spacing significantly impacts reservoir performance, particularly at late production stages and that well interference and an ee of well spacing optimization in tight oil and gas reservoirs, offering valuable insights for the strategic planning and development of these vital resources.
期刊介绍:
Petroleum Chemistry (Neftekhimiya), founded in 1961, offers original papers on and reviews of theoretical and experimental studies concerned with current problems of petroleum chemistry and processing such as chemical composition of crude oils and natural gas liquids; petroleum refining (cracking, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming); catalysts for petrochemical processes (hydrogenation, isomerization, oxidation, hydroformylation, etc.); activation and catalytic transformation of hydrocarbons and other components of petroleum, natural gas, and other complex organic mixtures; new petrochemicals including lubricants and additives; environmental problems; and information on scientific meetings relevant to these areas.
Petroleum Chemistry publishes articles on these topics from members of the scientific community of the former Soviet Union.
