Abstract: An actual physical model which shows partial penetration of heterogeneous reservoir formations was built and a three-dimensional mathematical model for instability of anisotropic rectangular reservoirs was built. The mathematical model takes impermeable top, combination of boundary conditions of constant pressure and top border and bottom border into consideration. By using dimensionless transformation, Laplace transformation, Fourier cosine transformation and variable separation methods analytical solution of Laplace domain was obtained. By using Stephenson numerical methods numerical solution pressure of real domain was obtained.Dynamic pressures were plotted and sensitivity analysis was carried out.Pressures obtained are basically consistent with numerical simulation, which shows reliability of the method. Sensitivity analysis shows that:Dynamic pressure curve can be divided into early linear flow, mid-radial flow, late spherical flow and boundary control flow.Fracture length mainly affects early linear flow. Permeability anisotropy mainly affects mid-radial flow.Degree of penetration in reservoir and fracture orientation mainly affect late spherical flow.Boundary conditions and reservoir border width mainly affect boundary control flow.Optimal degree of open shot, vertical permeability and other parameters can be obtained easily.It provides theoretical guidance for reservoir engineering analysis and fracturing process design.
