Sour gas reservoirs are an important part of unconventional gas reservoirs, which are widely distributed in the world. However, elemental sulfur deposition, channel plugging, and productivity reduction consequentially occur in the development of high sour gas fields as pressure drops. The accurate prediction of sulfur deposition is a very important work for sour gas reservoirs. In this paper, a fractal model is presented for predicting elemental sulfur saturation in the presence of natural fracture. The model takes into consideration the effects of non-Darcy flow. In addition, the influence parameters such as fractal dimension, fractal index, and non-Darcy flow are studied. The results showed the following: (1) sulfur deposition was overestimated by Hu's model, and this paper model is more accurate for prediction of sulfur deposition; (2) elemental sulfur deposition decreases with the increase of the fractal dimension, while elemental sulfur deposition increases with the decrease of the fractal index; and (3) non-Darcy flow should be considered because it causes a faster rate of sulfur deposition. This research will provide a basis and reference for predicting elemental sulfur saturation in the presence of natural fracture for sour gas reservoirs.
