Abstract Horizontal well is a very important technology to explore oil field and to enhance recovery factor. Horizontal well can increase the contact area in the pay zone and has attracted very wide attention in the world. Horizontal well is superior to vertical well especially in low permeability reservoir, thin pay zone, viscous oil, residual oil and so on. And it is very spread to explore oil field with horizontal well. Horizontal well’s production is reasonably designed and development index is accurately forecasted, and this has become an important problem to reach the development effect of oil field’s forecast. The horizontal well can control the water rising velocity for small drawdown pressure and large drainage area and increase liquid producing capacity. It has become a new important technique of oil field development, releasing the old oil fields and enhanced oil recovery. In the feasibility demonstration and optimization design of horizontal well development, the production prediction of horizontal well is an important basis for the decision-making project. There are a lot of kinds of methods to predict production of a horizontal well, according to the well completion method, the type of oil reservoir, drainage area shape, pattern arrangement etc. it has different forms and application range. In this paper, Joshis formula is systematically introduced and revised considering the friction within the borehole. The revised production, comparing with the original production, shows that the friction within the borehole has great influences on the production of horizontal well. And it has very important significance on productivity prediction of horizontal well.
