Popis: Based on the separated production scheme of perforated horizontal well, the production is closely related to the number, length and location of horizontal intervals. New reservoir / wellbore coupling models were modeled which included two boundaries: closed boundary and constant pressure boundary. For these coupling models, two new optimization models were modeled, which took the production as the objective function and took the length and location of horizontal intervals as the optimization variables. Then the numerical calculation models were proposed by using the Gauss-Laguerre quadrature formula. Applying the genetic algorithm and writing the numerical stimulation software, the optimized schemes with 2 segments, 3 segments and 4 segments for planning intervals of the perforated horizontal wells were presented. By comparing the optimized schemes, we can see that the horizontal well production was not infinite increasing with the length of horizontal intervals, but only in the suitable length of horizontal intervals to maintain high production. And it is not the more segments the higher production. For the perforated horizontal well in closed reservoir, the production was the highest based on the optimized schemes with 3 segments.
