Numerical analysis on gas production performance by using a multilateral well system at the first offshore hydrate production test site in the Shenhu area

Xinxin Cao et al.

Summary: Multilateral well technique is a promising approach to enhance gas recovery in heterogeneous hydrate reservoirs. A 3D numerical model is proposed to predict the production performance of hydrate reservoirs using multilateral wells. The optimal deployment location and branch length for dual-branch and quad-branch scenarios are determined. Dual-lateral wells have the most favorable yield-increasing effects compared to vertical wells. Well interference between branches may exist and worsens with an increase in branch number. This research provides insight into the industrialized co-production of hydrate and free gas.
