Abstract
A semi-analytical method for determining the productivity of a radial system of horizontal wells in an anisotropic layer is proposed. Results of calculations of the productivity and distribution of fluid flow along the length of the wellbores of the radial system of horizontal wells using the proposed method are compared with the data of experimental studies based on electrolytic modeling and engineering calculations. The effects of the number of wellbores, their location in the reservoir, and the hydraulic pressure loss on the distribution of the fluid flow along the length of horizontal wellbores are investigated.
