Abstract
Abstract Ultra-deep naturally fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs have the characteristics of tight matrix, natural fractures development, strong heterogeneity and complex gas-water relations. There is strong uncertainty of gas reserves estimation in the early stage for such reservoirs, which brings big challenge to the development design of gas fields. Taking Keshen gas field in Tarim basin as example, during the early development stage, the dynamic reserves were much less than those of proven geologic reserves. As results, the actual production performances are obviously different from those of conceptual design. What are the reasons? How to adjust the development program of gas field? Based on special core analysis, production performance analysis, gas reservoir engineering method, and numerical simulations, influencing factors on evaluation of dynamic reserves for ultra-deep fractured tight sanstone gas reservoirs are analyzed. The results show that rock pore compressibility, recovery percent of gas reserves, gas supply capacity of matrix rock, water invasion are the major factors affecting the evaluation of dynamic reserves. On the basis of above analysis, some suggestions are given for the evaluation of dynamic reserves in Ultra-deep fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs. For this kind of reservoirs, it is reasonable to determine the gas production scale based on dynamic reserves instead of proven geological reserves.
