Abstract: To address the problem of difficult quantitative diagnostic techniques for tight oil horizontal well production profiles, the tight oil horizontal well temperature profile predicting model is used as the forward model, and a tight oil horizontal well distributed temperature sensing (DTS) data inversion model is established based on the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, forming a DTS-based tight oil horizontal well production profile interpretation method, to achieve the quantitative inversion interpretation of the tight oil horizontal well production profile and fracture parameters. The result shows that the tight oil horizontal well temperature profile is sensitive to the following factors in descending order: fluid production, fracture half-length, permeability, integrated heat transfer coefficient of wellbore, porosity, fracture conductivity, and thermal conductivity of reservoir rocks, and the main controlling factors affecting the temperature profile of tight oil horizontal wells are fracture half-length and formation permeability distribution. The inversion model was used to invert the measured DTS data from three different production stages of one field well, and the average compliance rate between the production profile interpretation results and the commercial software interpretation results was 87.39%, which verified the reliability of the production profile interpretation method for tight oil horizontal wells. The study results have important guidance for the quantitative interpretation of the tight oil horizontal well production profile.
