Abstract

Comparison of Klinkenberg-Corrected Gas and Liquid Permeability in Kirthar Fold Belt Tight Gas Sands

Highlights

  • The permeability is the main property of any reservoir rock, which controls the fluid flow and is an essential parameter for modeling reservoir production behavior

  • The objective of this study was to develop correlation in between gas and liquid permeability values based on the data obtained in laboratory for the tight rocks of Kirthar fold belt area Sindh Pakistan

  • This study aims to investigate permeability of tight gas sands so that the marginally profitable reservoirs productivity can accurately be assessed, so that the uncertainties can be decreased in commercial extraction of these readily available gas resources [15,19,20]

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The permeability is the main property of any reservoir rock, which controls the fluid flow and is an essential parameter for modeling reservoir production behavior. The objective of this study was to develop correlation in between gas and liquid permeability values based on the data obtained in laboratory for the tight rocks of Kirthar fold belt area Sindh Pakistan. The other aim was to develop a correlation by which a liquid permeability could be estimated from gas permeability values To attain these objectives the permeability of samples collected from Kirthar fold belt outcrop were obtained, initially the permeability was measured using dry gas (nitrogen gas) and the samples were flooded with brines of different concentrations, the permeability measured using demineralized water. The measured liquid and gas permeability corrected for slippage effects was compared each other [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21]
