Abstract: This paper considers a two-dimensional hydraulic model which describes gas or oil flow to a horizontal well with hydraulic fractures and takes into account the reservoir geometry and fluid flow between the reservoir and the well. A computational algorithm is proposed, and calculations for gas and oil reservoirs are performed. A comparison of the calculation results and the solutions of the corresponding problems in a three-dimensional formulation show that the calculations using the approximate hydraulic model yield reasonably accurate results.

Keywords: gas, oil, reservoir, well, hydraulic fracture, hydraulic model.
