Abstract

An accurate temperature profile of the multi-stage fractured horizontal well is the foundation of production profile interpretation using distributed temperature sensing. In this paper, an oil-water two-phase flow multi-stage fractured horizontal well temperature prediction model considering stress sensitivity effect and the Joule–Thomson effect is constructed. Based on the simulation calculation, the wellbore temperature variation under different formation parameters, water cuts, and fracture parameters is discussed. The wellbore temperature distribution in multistage fractured horizontal wells is affected by many factors. According to the principle of orthogonal experimental design, the difference between wellbore temperature and initial formation temperature is selected as the analysis condition. Sixteen groups of orthogonal experimental calculations are designed and conducted. By analyzing the experimental results, it is found that the fracture half-length, water production, and formation permeability are the main controlling factors of the wellbore temperature profile. Finally, the production profile of the well is determined by calculating the temperature profile of a tight oil well and fitting it to the measured data of distributed temperature sensing.
