WELL PERFORMANCE IN SOLUTION GAS DRIVE RESERVOIRS

📄 Project Abstract

The practical application of various production parameters and relations to predict the well performance analysis of a solution gas drive reservoir is the primary objective of this study. These parameters include: IPR (inflow performance relation), OPR (outflow performance relation) and PI (productivity index). Theoretical data was used to predict the performance behavior of a solution gas drive reservoir from start of production till its abandonment. IPRs and OPRs were developed during the forecasting, over the life of the reservoir. IPRs of a naturally fractured reservoir were also developed for both vertical and horizontal wells. Hagoort equation was used to develop the NFR IPRs. The storativity ratio was varied to investigate its effect on the productivity index equation in transforming single-porosity reservoir into a double-porosity reservoir productivity index. It was observed that there is no significant difference in the productivity index obtained with single porosity and tha...
