The semi-analytical productivity equations for vertically fractured coalbed methane wells considering pressure propagation process, variable mass flow, and fracture conductivity decrease
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering(2019)
Abstract
As an unconventional gas resource, coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir has unique flow mechanism and production scheme compared with conventional and other unconventional gas reservoirs. At present, many investigators have done a lot of researches on CBM productivity prediction. However, few studies consider variable mass flow within hydraulic fracture and hydraulic fracture conductivity decrease in the model. Thus in order to accurately forecast gas productivity, the pressure propagation process, gas-water two phase flow in coal formation, stress sensitivity and coal matrix shrinkage in cleat system, variable mass flow within hydraulic fracture, and fracture conductivity decrease should be considered simultaneously when establishing gas production model of CBM wells.
