Abstract
Existing “evaluation indicators” are selected and combined to build a
model to support the optimization of shale gas horizontal wells. Towards this
end, different “weighting methods”, including AHP and the so-called entropy
method, are combined in the frame of the game theory. Using a relevant test case
for the implementation of the model, it is shown that the horizontal section of the
considered well is in the middle sweet spot area with good physical properties and
fracturing ability. In comparison with the FSI (flow scanner Image) gas production profile, the new model seems to display better abilities for the optimization
of horizontal wells.
