Abstract
A semi-analyticalmethod for determining the productivity of a radial system of horizontal wells in an anisotropic reservoir is proposed. Calculation results for the productivity and distribution of fluid flow along the length of the wellbores of the radial system of horizontal wells using the proposed method are compared with the data of experimental studies based on electrolytic simulation and engineering formulas. The effects of the number of wellbores, their location in the reservoir, and the hydraulic pressure loss on the distribution of the fluid flow along the length of horizontal wellbores are investigated.
