Pressure Drop Characteristics and Reserves Calculation Method of Gas Reservoir of Multi-Layer Unconsolidated Sandstone

Abstract:

Taking Sebei gas field as an example, this paper sorts hydrostatic pressure test data over the years and summarizes the reasons that the formation pressure drop curve generates a straight line, up-warping and recurvation from the perspective of water invasion, perforation adding, layer adjusting, sand burying, and sand control as well as inter-layer interference and inter-well interference, with typical wells analyzed and explained. On this basis, two kinds of mass balance correction models which have taken the offset of the pressure drop curve into account are proposed to calculate the dynamic reserves of gas wells with different offset shapes of pressure drop curves. Practical result shows the simple concept and strong practicality of this method, which provides an effective method for the accurate calculation of dynamic reserves of such gas reservoir.
