Gas Seepage Law in Condition of Bound Water of Low Permeability and Tight Sandstone Gas Reservoir

Abstract:

In condition of bound water, bound water is distributed on surface of pore throat in the form of water film in low permeability and tight sandstone gas reservoir, so bound water reduces the seepage space of the gas and makes gas to occur Special seepage law. This article design physical simulation research experiment about gas seepage law in containing water reservoir. Experimental results explain: Gas seepage curve existed obvious non-linear seepage region in low permeability reservoir, gas slippage effect happens in the low-pressure region, and high-speed non-Darcy seepage happens in the high-pressure region. With the limit of water and pore throat in tight reservoir, gas hardly occurs specific non-linear seepage phenomenon. The critical water saturation which causes gas effective permeability sudden changing is around 30% in low permeability and tight reservoir. The research result has important theoretical significance on establishing corresponding percolation model of single well productivity and efficient development of low permeability and tight sandstone gas reservoir.
