Influence law of temperature profile for horizontal wells in tight oil reservoirs
The challenge of reliably predicting temperature profiles in horizontal wells in tight oil reservoirs
coupled with an incomplete understanding of the factors influencing these profiles
has hindered the quantitative interpretation of tight oil horizontal well production using distributed optical fiber technology. To address this issue
a comprehensive model has been developed to estimate temperature profiles in horizontal wells in tight oil reservoirs
accounting for various microthermal effects. The temperature profiles of horizontal wells in tight oil reservoir under different single factors were simulated and analyzed. Then
through orthogonal experiment analysis
it demonstrates that the sensitivity of different facto
rs from strong to weak is production rate
fracture half-length
reservoir permeability
wellbore diameter
horizontal inclination angle
fracture conductivity
and total reservoir thermal conductivity(

). It is worth noting that fracture half-length and formation permeability emerged as the primary factors influencing the temperature profile of horizontal wells in tight oil reservoirs. The research results provide available basic models and theoretical support for quantitative interpretation of production profile and artificial fracture parameters for horizontal wells in tight oil reservoir.
