Abstract

ABSTRACT Water coning is the mechanism in which the oil/gas – water contact locally rises toward the perforated interval in a partially penetrated oil/gas well. Numerical and physical models have been built to study the performance of water coning under different boundary conditions. A fully implicit, strongly coupled mathematical model was formulated to handle rapid pressure-saturation changes. On the other hand, a plexiglass model was constructed to obtain a qualitative and quantitative description of water-coning phenomenon. An analytical description of water coning under different flow conditions was developed.
