Abstract The flow behavior of shale gas horizontal wells is relatively complex, and this should be regarded as the main
reason for which conventional pipe flow models are not suitable to describe the related dynamics. In this study,
numerical simulations have been conducted to determine the gas-liquid distribution in these wells. In particular,
using the measured flow pressure data related to 97 groups of shale gas wells as a basis, 9 distinct pipe flow models
have been assessed, and the models displaying a high calculation accuracy for different water-gas ratio (WGR)
ranges have been identified. The results show that: (1) The… More >
