The optimization design of perforating parameters based on orthogonal test method for horizontal wells

The perforated completion of horizontal wells has been used widely at home and abroad. The optimization perforating parameters are critical for economic and high-efficiency production of horizontal wells. The optimization design models are established for perforating parameters of horizontal wells based on the orthogonal test method, and 9 important factors are selected, meanwhile the influence of various factors on the horizontal well productivity is analyzed. Perforated completion parameters scheme is optimized. The study provided a new method and technical support for perforating parameter optimization of horizontal wells.
