As ultra-low permeability reservoir is developed by water flooding,it always presents characteristics of non-Darcy flow and permeability anisotropy. We derived water breakthrough time formula of five-spot well pattern,inverted nine-spot well pattern and rhombic nine-spot well pattern with basic non-Darcy flow formula and streamline integral method. Breakthrough time of one actual well pattern in Ordos Basin was calculated. Calculation results accorded with production data well. Effects of threshold pressure gradient, permeability anisotropy and viscosity difference between oil and water were analyzed. It shows that the greater the viscosity ratio of oil and water,the earlier the water breakthrough time; Corner well of rhombic nine-spot well pattern can realize uniform displacement both in x direction and y direction as ratio of well spacing in x direction and y direction equals to permeability anisotropy degree; The grenter the threshold pressure gradient,the latter the water breakthrough time. Effect of threshold pressure gradient became more apparent as well spacing is larger.

With Green function and Laplace transformation, one-dimensional element is established considering effect of permeability tensor of anisotropic reservoir. Inflow of fracture is obtained by linear interpolation of endpoints and flow in fracture is treated with linear integral of flow rate. Coupling flow in formation and fractures, calculating method for bottom-hole pressure is formed semi-analytically. It shows that there are three flow regimes including fracturing linear flow, formation linear flow and system radial flow. The more the fractures, the less the dimensionless pressure and number of factures has significant impact on flow rate. With increase of fractures increasing rate is dropping in the same time. Fracture length and conductivity have similar characteristics. Flow rate is improving as angle between fracture and wellbore is increasing. Flow rate reaches maximum as fracture is perpendicular to wellbore, and vice versa. Angle between maximum permeability and fracture has similar impact on production. In summary, production rate reach maximum as fracture is perpendicular to wellbore and direction of maximum permeability.
