Abstract:
In this article, we investigate the transient pressure response and production rate of horizontal wells in a dual porosity-dual permeability naturally fractured reservoir.First, the point source solution is derived in Laplace transform space and then pressure distribution and horizontal well response is obtained using the principle of superposition. In our model, despite of dual porosity model, matrix system is directly connected to horizontal wellbore as well as fracture system and has an influence on type curves characteristics. We also showed that type curves characteristics are affected by horizontal well length, well eccentricity, external boundary conditions, permeability and storavity of matrix and fracture system, interporosity flow between matrix and fracture and etc
