  • chapter 10 transient compressible flows Numerical Well Test simulation
    Quantitative Methods in Reservoir Engineering (Second Edition), 2017
    Co-Authors: Wilson C Chin
    Abstract:

    Transient compressible Numerical flow simulation is introduced and methods are developed to integrate the three-dimensional equations (in general curvilinear coordinates). Pressure and streamfunction solutions are discussed. Examples are given, e.g., pressure drawdown and buildup, Wells in “Texas shaped reservoir,” application of “alternating-direction-implicit (ADI) methods,” and so on. An example approximation factorization method, popular in the literature, is summarized.

  • Effects of perforated completion parameters on Well Test type curves
    Acta Petrologica Sinica, 2013
    Co-Authors: Liu Yuewu
    Abstract:

    Perforated completion is one of the most commonly used completion methods in oil and gas development.The single Well productivity is largely determined by the completion method for a given oil-gas Well.The Well Test analysis and single Well productivity calculation are normally realized by using a 2-D open hole model,however,this approach may cause large errors.Based on properties of perforated completion and permeability anisotropy of reservoirs,a three-dimensional Numerical Well Test model was proposed to analyze the transient flow in perforated vertical Wells.With the model,Well Test type curves and pressure fields of perforated Wells are obtained by using the 3-D finite elemnet method(FEM).Through analyses of Well Test type curves and the three-dimensional flow in the pressure field,six flow phases can be recognized on Well Test type curves of perforated Wells,i.e.Wellbore storage,the first transition,early-time partly radial flow around the perforation,the second transition,late-time system radial flow and boundary-dominated flow.Among them the early-time partly radial flow around the perforation is the most important characteristic of perforated Wells.Effects of perforated completion parameters,such as perforation density,length,phase angle and permeability anisotropy,on the transient pressure and derivative responses were studied,which provides theoretical guidance to design perforating types and analyze Well Test data of perforated Wells.The calculation result of the total skin factor of perforated Wells showed that the productivity of a perforated Well may be higher than that of an open hole if the perforation is long enough or the perforation density is high enough.Increasing the perforation length is an effective way to enhance the productivity of a perforated Well.

  • advance of Well Test analysis for heterogenous reservoirs
    Advances in Mechanics, 2005
    Co-Authors: Liu Yuewu
    Abstract:

    Based on the definition of the reservoir types used in the Well Test analysis, this review forcuses on four points: the formation heterogeneity, the fluid distribution, the mathematical model and the Test data interpretation method. The concepts, such as the partially regular heterogeneous reservoir and arbitrarily heterogeneous reservoir, are expatiated in this paper. The present state and future trend of research are pointed out. It is best to combine the geological data and the dynamic data of the reservoir development to interpret the Well Test data. Numerical Well Test analysis method is the new trend for the future Test analysis.

  • Well Test analysis methods of fractured vuggy carbonate gas reservoirs
    Dynamic Description Technology of Fractured Vuggy Carbonate Gas Reservoirs, 2019
    Co-Authors: Tongwen Jiang, Xingliang Deng
    Abstract:

    Abstract Well Tests for fractured vuggy carbonate gas reservoirs are challenging because of the diversity of Well Test curves, the ambiguity of interpretation results, and complexity of analysis models. In this section, the three-dimensional Numerical Well Test analysis method and the lifecycle Well Test analysis method are presented. The multilayer, three-dimensional Numerical Well Test model considers both lateral heterogeneity and vertical heterogeneity, and provides a mathematical description more similar to the actual reservoir performance. The combination of conventional analytical Well Tests, (2D and 3D), Numerical Well Tests, and advanced production decline analysis can greatly improve the reliability of interpretation results and the forecasting accuracy of key development indices. Moreover, the application of Well Test analysis results in the gas reservoir description, and the cautions in performance monitoring, are explained.

  • Integrated dynamic evaluation of depletion-drive performance in naturally fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs using DPSO–FCM clustering
    Fuel, 2016
    Co-Authors: Daigang Wang, Xingliang Deng, Liu Zhiliang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Compared to the widely distributed porous and fractured-porous carbonate reservoirs, the naturally fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs (NFVCRs) found in Tarim Basin, China, suffer from strong heterogeneity, multiple types of reservoir bodies, poor connectivity, complicated flow behavior and various water–oil interplay relationship in most cases. Due to lack of powerful and suitable EOR (enhanced oil recovery) strategies, depletion-drive recovery is commonly adopted for practical production, and the efficient oilfield development remains a great challenge to all of us. Understanding the relationship between reservoir bodies, configuration, water–oil interplay and depletion-drive performance, is essential to exchange of oilfield development scheme and further potential tapping of the remaining oil. By introducing an self-adaptive particle swarm optimization (DPSO) to tackle the shortcomings of the conventional fuzzy c-means (FCM) in terms of sensitivity to initial values, initialization with randomly generated clustering centers, and easy involvement in local minima, a novel integrated dynamic evaluation method for depletion-drive performance in NFVCRs based on DPSO–FCM clustering is developed. In this paper, different fractured-vuggy reservoir types are identified combing drilling & Well logging response, Numerical Well Test analysis and production Test. The integrated diagnosis techniques including rate transient analysis, production decline analysis and reservoir energy evaluation, are employed to evaluate reservoir properties, furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) is performed to reduce the dimensionality of input vector and establish the dynamic evaluation index system of depletion-drive performance. Taking a typical NFVCR in northern Tarim Basin as example, the proposed method is implemented to classify the production responses into four major patterns with eight sub-classes. Moreover, according to the insight of water–oil interplay relationship, depletion-drive production responses and identification of reservoir types, the water influx behaviors are divided into four general patterns. Eventually, the relevant dynamic clustering criterion and suitable potential-tapping strategies or measures are provided.
