Abstract

The disclosure discloses a method for obtaining formation parameters of a gas hydrate reservoir through well testing interpretation, which comprises: (1) establishing a physical model for well testing interpretation of the gas hydrate reservoir according to multiphase flow, hydrate dissociation, secondary hydrate formation and heat transfer exhibited in the well testing process of the gas hydrate reservoir; (2) establishing a mathematical model for well testing interpretation of the gas hydrate reservoir; (3) conducting spatial discretization and temporal discretization on the mathematical model, and adopting a finite volume method to obtain a numerical solution of bottom-hole pressure; (4) calculating a bottom-hole pressure variation curve and a production rate variation curve in the well testing process of the hydrate reservoir, and drawing theoretical curves of bottom-hole pressure difference and pressure difference derivative; and (5) matching a measured pressure curve with the theoretical curve to obtain the relevant formation parameters.
