First, the water influx coefficient B in the theoretical formula Pr =(1-Rg)/(1-RgB) is used to determine the influence of the aquifer behavior. According to the theoretical formula, the relationship between the norrnalized pressure Pr and the degree of the reserve recovery Rg can be obtained with different values of B, which can be used to determine the activity level of the aquifer behavior. Second, according to Pra = (1-Rga)/(1-aEva) (where a = 1-Sgr/Sgi ), the relationship between the normalized abandonment pressure Pra and the ultimate gas recovery Rga can be obtained, as the Agarwal end-point line. The intersection of the above two lines represents the value of the estimated ultimate gas recovery and the normalized abandonment pressure pra. Finally, an evaluation table and a set of demarcation charts are established, with different values of Sgr/Sgi and Eva as well as the water influx coefficient B, which can be used to determine the gas recovery of water-drive gas reservoirs with different activity levels of the aquifer behavior.展开更多
文摘In most literatures reservoir engineers usually claimed that oilfields are not identical to each other.To the author's experience on the type-curve matching work as mentioned above,it is not uncommon to find two fields exhibiting almost identical performances throughout their whole production life.In Fig.1,oil and water production figures of two well-known giant oilfields of former USSR-Romashkino(A)and Samotrol(B)are plo-tted together as Type-A curves with software“TWDTC".Surprisingly,nearly all the data points which covered 18-24 years of production history for both fields fell almost on one straight line.This implies that these two fields should have the same magnitude of active OOIP and in the same time,exercise similar waterflooding performance during their whole produciton life.

文摘This paper proposes a method for determining the gas recovery of water-drive gas reservoirs. First, the water influx coefficient B in the theoretical formula Pr =(1-Rg)/(1-RgB) is used to determine the influence of the aquifer behavior. According to the theoretical formula, the relationship between the norrnalized pressure Pr and the degree of the reserve recovery Rg can be obtained with different values of B, which can be used to determine the activity level of the aquifer behavior. Second, according to Pra = (1-Rga)/(1-aEva) (where a = 1-Sgr/Sgi ), the relationship between the normalized abandonment pressure Pra and the ultimate gas recovery Rga can be obtained, as the Agarwal end-point line. The intersection of the above two lines represents the value of the estimated ultimate gas recovery and the normalized abandonment pressure pra. Finally, an evaluation table and a set of demarcation charts are established, with different values of Sgr/Sgi and Eva as well as the water influx coefficient B, which can be used to determine the gas recovery of water-drive gas reservoirs with different activity levels of the aquifer behavior.
