In order to clarify the leaching effect of horizontal well technology on in-situ leaching of uranium, a numerical simulation method was used to study the influence of different parameters on "Horizontal Well Injection-Vertical Well Pumping" and conventional "Vertical Well Injection and Pumping". The results show that compared with "Vertical Well Injection and Pumping", the length of horizontal wells is proportional to the leaching range, the vertical leaching range of "Horizontal Well Injection-Vertical Well Pumping" is small, the plane sweep efficiency is high, the dead corner of leaching is small, and the effective utilization rate of leaching solution is high; it has a wide coverage in the horizontal direction and have significant advantages in the treatment of thin uranium ore deposits. The ratio of horizontal permeability to vertical permeability has a greater impact on the leaching of "Vertical Well Injection and Pumping". When the vertical permeability is low, the leaching effect of horizontal well sections is better than that of vertical well sections; the amount of pumping and injection fluid is positively correlated with the leaching range. As the amount of pumping and injection fluid increases, the dead corners of leaching of both "Horizontal Well Injection-Vertical Well Pumping" and "Vertical Well Injection and Pumping" decrease. The increase in the amount of pumping and injection fluid has a greater impact on the leaching effect of "Horizontal Well Injection-Vertical Well Pumping". When the flow rate reaches 210 m3/d, the leaching range of the ore layer of "Horizontal Well Injection-Vertical Well Pumping" is higher than that of generalized "Vertical Well Injection and Pumping".
