This paper extended the conventional multiple hydraulic fractured horizontal (MFH) well into a composite model to describe the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) caused by hydraulic fracturing. Employing the Laplace transform, Source function, and Dirac delta function methods, the continuous linear source function for general composite dual-porosity is derived, and the solution of the MFH well in a composite gas reservoir is obtained with the numerical discrete method. Through the Stehfest numerical algorithm and Gauss elimination method, the transient pressure responses for well producing at a constant production rate and the production rate vs. time for constant bottomhole pressure are analyzed. The effects of related parameters such as natural permeability and radial of the SRV region, formation permeability and interporosity coefficient on transient pressure and production performance are analyzed as well. The presented model and obtained results in this paper not only enrich the well testing models of such unconventional reservoir, but also can use to interpret on-site data which have significance on efficient reservoir development.
