Abstract

Currently, the percentage of the mature fields steadily rise and the process of formation of water and gas cones becomes unavoidable. The prediction of this process is essential for successful field development. Correlation dependencies developed for this purpose can be divided into three main groups. The models in the first group are based on the analytical approach of definition of balance conditions for viscous and gravitational powers in the reservoir. The methods in the second group are based on empiric approach, i.e. on the data obtained as a result of laboratory experiments or computer modeling. The methods in the third group are based on numerical approach. The paper presents the analysis and classification of modern methods for prediction of coning process.
