Abstract: | The motion of a homogeneous liquid in a well with a hemispherical face is studied for the case of transient, spherically radial filtration in cracked porous media comprising mutually superposed hemispherical regions with different crack permeabilities, having a supply contour in the outer hemispherical region. Using a Laplace integral transformation with respect to the time variable, the systems of differential equations describing the filtration of liquid in these media are solved for zero initial and corresponding boundary conditions. Exact solutions are obtained for the reduction in stratal pressure with time and distance, and also for the changes taking place in the output of a well operating under conditions of specified face pressure. On the basis of corresponding numerical calculations, the influence of the parameters of the cracked porous strata and the radius of the surface containing the supply contour on the indices of the production process is established. |
