A new method for determining factors Influencing productivity of deep coalbed methane vertical cluster wells by HUANG Li, XIONG Xianyue, WANG Feng, SUN Xiongwei, ZHANG Yixin, ZHAO Longmei, SHI Shi, ZHANG Wen, ZHAO Haoyang, JI Liang, DENG Lin

“…Predictions using the neural network method were more accurate, with a relative error of less than 10% compared to measured values. 2） Using Kendall's tau-b correlation analysis, the discrete dominant factor was identified as the microstructural position, primarily located in uplifted positive structural zones, with the secondary factor being fracture development, categorized mainly as “well-developed” or “developed.” 3） By combining lasso regression-random forest- decision tree algorithm to iteratively eliminate irrelevant factors, the continuous dominant factors influencing productivity were ranked in descending order as: ash content, average construction discharge rate, total sand volume pumped, flowback rate at gas breakthrough, net pay thickness, acoustic travel time, gamma ray log value, average construction pressure, percentage of 100-mesh sand, and average gas measurement value. …”
