The gas-water relative permeability curve reflects the comprehensive physical properties of the reservoir. Clarifying the relationship between the gas-water relative permeability behavior of tight sandstone and the production performance of gas wells is conducive to the efficient development of tight gas reservoirs. Taking the typical tight sandsto

ne gas reservoirs in the eastern margin of Ordos Basin as the research object

the reservoirs are divided into three types and gas-water relative permeability experiments are carried out. Combined with core analysis methods such as X-ray diffraction

scanning electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance

the relationship between gas-water relative permeability and gas well production performance curve is revealed. The results show that: ① The two-phase transition zone of relative permeability curve I is wide

the pore type of which is mainly intergranular pores. The two-phase transition zone of relative permeability curve Ⅱ is narrow

the pore types of which are mainly intergranular pores and intergranular pores. The two-phase transition zone of relative permeability curve Ⅲ is extremely narrow

and the pore type is mainly dominated by intergranular pores; ② The clay mineral content is high. kaolinite and chlorite are conducive to gas-water phase flow. Illite is not conducive to gas-water phase flow; ③ The pore and throat of in the reservoir have large differences and can be roughly divided into three categories: large pores（greater than 1.0 μm）

mesopores（0.1~1.0 μm） and small pores（less than 0.1 μm）. The large pores in the reservoir of class I

Ⅱ and Ⅲ account for about 40%

10%

and 4%

respectively; ④ The gas wells can be divided into three types

the production performance of which are consistent with the predicted results of the relative permeability curves. The main production layer of the well of class I responds to the reservoir of class I. The effective layer thickness is about 7 m. The average daily production is about 2×10

with a very short stable production period. By analyzing the gas-water relative permeability characteristics to predict gas well production dynamics

the impact of pore structure and clay minerals on gas-water flow behavior is revealed. This can provide theoretical support for developing measures to reduce resistance and enhance efficiency in the development process of low-pressure

high-water-content tight gas fields.
