Mathematical Model of Fluid Filtration to the Production Wells in the Reservoirs with Discontinuities
Authors: ,
Abstract: Recently, it has been proved very important to study the filtration process in the reservoir with discontinuities of permeability. These discontinuities may be either natural, like tectonic fault, or artificial, like hydraulic fractures, and it may have various permeability values. This paper considers the steady-state flow process of incompressible fluid to the production well in a reservoir of constant height and permeability. There is a thin area in the reservoir with constant permeability kf, which might be highly permeable crack or low permeable barrier. The characteristics of filtration process are studied for various kf values. The nature of fluid flow to the wellbore is analyzed at different locations of the well and the crack for different values of the fracture conductivity in this paper and the analytical expression for skin effect is defined.
