According to the characteristics of heterogeneous multiplayer reservoir, a semi-analytical productivity prediction model for multilateral wells was established. The influence factors for productivity of dual-lateral well were analyzed. The researched results show that the smaller the angle between branches is, the larger the productivity loss of oil wells will be. The bigger difference of formation features between two branchesis, the less likely the branch with high productivity is to reach its largest productivity, which would affect the gross production. The pressure loss resulted from well bore friction and cross-flow effect would only have a little influence on productivity of dual-lateral wells. So, in the design of dual lateral wells, the angle between of branches should increase as large as possible, and the cross-flow point of branches should be far away from pay zone. It is recommended that the bottom hole pressure of dual-lateral wells should not be higher than the formation pressure of any branch, and oil formations with the similar pressure difference should be selected when positioning two branches, so as to exert the productivity potential of two branches.
