Assessment of Carboniferous Volcanic Horizontal Wells after Fracturing Based on Gray Correlation,Hierarchical Analysis and Fuzzy Evaluation

A comprehensive method to evaluate the factors affecting the production capacity of horizontal wells in Carboniferous volcanic rocks after fracturing is investigated.A systematic approach combining gray correlation analysis,hierarchical analysis and fuzzy evaluation is proposed.In particular,first the incidence of reservoir properties and fracturing parameters on production capacity is assessed.These parameters include reservoir base geological parameters(porosity,permeability,oil saturation,waterproof height)as well as engineering parameters(fracture halflength,fracture height,fracture conductivity,fracture distance).Afterwards,a two-by-two comparison judgment matrix of sensitive parameters is constructed by means of hierarchical analysis,and the weighting coefficients of the factors are determined,where oil saturation,fracture conductivity and fracture half-length are weighted higher.Finally,the horizontal wells in the target block are categorized in terms of production capacity based on the fuzzy evaluation method,and split accordingly into high-producing,relatively high-producing,medium-producing and low-producing wells.Such a categorization is intended to provide parametric guidance for reservoir fracturing and modification.

Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Model for Water Resources Carrying Capacity in Tarim River Basin,Xinjiang,China

This paper explores the method of comprehensive evaluation of water resources carrying capacity and sets up an evaluation model applying the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Based on the data of nature,society,economics and water resources of the Tarim River Basin in 2002,we evaluated the water resources carrying capacity of the basin by means of the model. The results show that the comprehensive grades are 0.438 and 0.454 for Aksu and Kashi prefectures respectively,where the current water resources exploitation and utilization has reached a relative high degree and there is only a very limited water carrying capacity,0.620 for Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture,where water resources carrying capacity is much higher,and in between for Hotan Prefecture and Bayingolin Mongo-lian Autonomous Prefecture. As a whole,the comprehensive grade of the Tarim River Basin is 0.508 and the current water resources exploitation and utilization has reached a relative high degree. Thus,we suggest that the integrated management of the water resources in the basin should be strengthened in order to utilize water resources scientifically and sustainably.
