Similar Constructive Method for Solving the Nonlinear Spherical Percolation Model in Dual-Porosity Media

Abstract

This paper presents a spherical percolation model for dual-porosity media reservoir, where the quadratic-gradient term, wellbore storage and three types of outer boundary conditions: constant pressure boundary, closed boundary and infinity boundary were considered. Then a new method: Similar Constructive Method was put forward for solving this type of percolation model. And solutions of the dimensionless reservoir pressure and the dimensionless bottomhole pressure in Laplace space were obtained. It was proved that these solutions had a similar structure. The Similar Constructive Method is an elementary and algebraic method, simple and practical. And the similar structure of solutions can simplify the well test analysis software programming and analyze the reservoir parameter’s affection on pressure conveniently. The present research has a great academic significance and application value in oil-gas field development.
