This invention provides a method for predicting the pressure distribution of a
shale gas horizontal well in a gas-liquid two-phase flow
wellbore, belonging to the field of oil and gas
field development. The method includes: dividing the target
shale gas horizontal well into target well sections; performing a detailed
simulation of the target well sections to obtain detailed
simulation results; determining the
functional relationship between the gas-liquid two-phase
slip velocity and the average transport rate of the water phase in the target well based on the detailed
simulation results of the target well sections; determining the
functional relationship between the resistance coefficient and the outlet liquid holdup of the target well based on the detailed simulation results of each target well section; establishing a
wellbore control
coupling model for the target well based on conservation theorems, the
functional relationship between the gas-liquid two-phase
slip velocity and the average transport rate of the water phase, and the functional relationship between the resistance coefficient and the outlet liquid holdup; iteratively solving the
wellbore control
coupling model for the target well; and obtaining the pressure distribution of the
shale gas horizontal well based on the iteration results to achieve accurate and efficient pressure distribution prediction.
