Abstract

The productivity evaluation of gas reservoirs is used to determine the optimal number of well pattern, which is an important part of the preparation of gas reservoir development plan. Using integral transformation and asymptotic analyses to solve the pseudo steady-state flow model in closed rectangular gas reservoir of constant thickness, analytic solution of pressure distribution of eccentric well can be obtained. This paper presents mathematical model of multiple wells producing from a closed gas reservoir by applying the principle of pressure superposition. The pseudo steady-state dimensionless production index is introduced to solve the multiple well mathematical models under the constant pressure, and the number of production wells and cumulative production in different production interval are obtained. The results of the calculation shows that the curve of the cumulative production and economic benefits have a maximum value when the producing time, gas price, and drilling costs are given, so it can determine the optimal number of wells and provide the basis for making gas reservoir development plan.
