Abstract:

Tazhong No.1 gas field is a typical vug-fractured carbonate gas condensate reservoir with the characteristics of high heterogeneity and complex geological and dynamics. A physical and effective hole-diameter mathematical model for well test in the composite reservoir is established, which considers the resistance force on interface. Specifically, the following factors are involved, including wellbore storage and skin factor of inner boundary, fracture open of interface, and infinite boundary of outer boundary. Moreover, the exact solution of wellbore pressure is obtained in terms of ordinary Bessel functions in the Laplace space. The numerical computation of the solution is obtained by using the Stehfest numerical inversion method, and the behavior of the system is studied as a function of various interface parameters. Results show that the composite radius controls the time of the interface performance. The larger the composite radius, the later the interface performance begins. In addition, the condition of open fracture has a heavy impact on the transitional zone performance. Resistance force on the interface disguises the influence of the condition of the open fracture, which is more apparent with larger resistance force. Comparisons with the regular well test model shows that the new model can improve the data utilization, reduce multiple solutions of well test analysis and increase the accuracy on the identification of formation parameters and evaluation stimulation. The method is useful for the reservoir dynamic description.

"My experiences in publishing a paper with Bentham Open is good. I must say that the speed of publication in The Open Petroleum Engineering Journal is very fast. It takes only two month for the pioneer reviewing process. The delay was caused by me. And what’s more, the publisher’s office is quite helpful. I guess they are dealing with thousands emails every week, but they process my request in a very short period of time."
