Study on Seepage Characteristics and Production Capacity Characteristics of Complex Structural Wells in Non-Homogeneous Gas Reservoirs Based on Hydroelectric Simulation by Hengjie Liao, Quanzhi Ji, Zhehao Jiang, Bin Yuan

“…The results show the following: non-homogeneity significantly alters seepage paths, leading to a reduction in the actual control area; the superimposed effects of branching interference of planar multi-branching wells, and the non-homogeneity of the reservoir, increase the effectiveness of mobilizing the low-permeability area between the branches; the daily gas production of the horizontal wells and the planar multi-branching wells under non-homogeneous conditions are 37.6 × 10⁴ m³/d and 70.9 × 10⁴ m³/d, respectively; and the production gap widened with the increase in the pressure function difference as compared to the homogeneous conditions. …”
