Abstract:Abstract. Most fracture patterns near the well region are more fickle in tight gas field than that in literature. In this paper, a modified discrete fractured well model is presented to account for dynamic characteristics of a vertical well with multiple asymmetrical fractures (MAF). Fracture closure effect is also coupled in the revised numerical model, leading to a more rapidly loss of gas production. The productivity of a vertical well with MAF is investigated by comparing to a fractured well with one singl… Show more
