Abstract

Compared with the variables separation method and integral-transform method, Green’s function method is much more applicable and thus of great practical significance. Based on the general steps of Green’s function method, a new method is originally raised to get Green’s function in oil and gas flow problems through underground formations. After that, the transient pressure solution is get for flow in a spherical reservoir by using this method. This case enlarged the application of Greenʼs method function, and this work can also be a good foundation for the solution of more and more complicated flow problems in oil and gas reservoirs.
