Study on development methods of different types of gas wells in tight sandstone gas reservoirs

Abstract

Reasonable production allocation of tight sandstone gas reservoirs is an important basis for efficient development of gas wells. Taking Block XX in Ordos Basin as an example, the modified flowing material balance equation was established considering the variation of gas viscosity and compression coefficient, the advantages and disadvantages of the method were discussed, and a reasonable production allocation process for gas wells was developed. The results show that: ① The commonly used flow material balance method ignores the change of natural gas compression coefficient, viscosity and deviation coefficient in the production process. The slope of the relationship curve between bottom hole pressure and cumulative production and the slope of the relationship curve between average formation pressure and cumulative production are not equal After considering this change. Compared with the results calculated by the material balance method, the results calculated by the flow material balance method are smaller. ② The production of 660 gas wells in the study area during stable production period is verified. Compared with the open flow method, the dynamic reserve allocation method is better, with an error of 0.06%. ③ The new method in this paper is used to allocate production for different types of gas wells. The cumulative production of different types of gas wells shows different degrees of increase. The I, II, III and IV types of gas wells increase by 32.26%, 30.29%, 23.58% and 25.07% respectively. This study provides technical support for dynamic reserve calculation and reasonable production allocation of gas wells in the study area, and has important guiding significance for the formulation of reasonable development plan and economic and efficient development of tight sandstone gas reservoirs.
