Abstract: Joshi formula for calculating production rate in heterogeneous reservoir doesn't adapt for reservoir with anisotropy horizontal permeability. It is suggested that Joshi formula should be corrected by multiplying horizontal permeability by correction factor($d=\sqrt[n]{k_{x}/K_{y}}$). This method is simple and feasible for application.
