Download or read book Advanced Production Decline Analysis and Application written by Hedong Sun and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, production decline-curve analysis has become the most widely used tool in the industry for oil and gas reservoir production analysis. However, most curve analysis is done by computer today, promoting a "black-box" approach to engineering and leaving engineers with little background in the fundamentals of decline analysis. Advanced Production Decline Analysis and Application starts from the basic concept of advanced production decline analysis, and thoroughly discusses several decline methods, such as Arps, Fetkovich, Blasingame, Agarwal-Gardner, NPI, transient, long linear flow, and FMB. A practical systematic introduction to each method helps the reservoir engineer understand the physical and mathematical models, solve the type curves and match up analysis, analyze the processes and examples, and reconstruct all the examples by hand, giving way to master the fundamentals behind the software. An appendix explains the nomenclature and major equations, and as an added bonus, online computer programs are available for download. - Understand the most comprehensive and current list of decline methods, including Arps, Fetkovich, Blasingame, and Agarwal-Gardner - Gain expert knowledge with principles, processes, real-world cases and field examples - Includes online downloadable computer programs on Blasingame decline type curves and normalized pseudo-pressure of gas wells

Download or read book Informing the Modified Hyperbolic Decline Curve0 9s Minimum Decline Parameter with Numerical Simulation in Unconventional Reservoirs written by Zakary Kypfer and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ne of the most important aspects in the life-cycle of a petroleum well is understanding, and being able to reasonably predict, the total hydrocarbon output that a well will have through its producing life. The estimation of reserves has strong economic and legal implications that will not only determine whether a well-drilling plan is viable but also the worth of a company itself. This study aims to better understand the two primary production forecasting methods used in the petroleum industry: decline curve analyses and numerical reservoir simulations, and their ability to complement one another to make a better-informed production forecast when used together. Decline curve analyses have a heavy reliance on prior hydrocarbon production data which presents difficulty in forecasting during early-term behavior due to a lack of production data; however, reservoir simulations are stronger in early well-life because they are based more heavily on reservoir parameters. The objective is to use reservoir simulations to inform the decline curve's early time behavior, by informing parameters in their equations such as Dmin, while developing a correlational relationship between the two forecasting techniques that could be applied and translated to other reservoirs in the future. A decline curve analysis was performed on a three-well study area and Dmin values of 6%, 8%, and 10% were evaluated. The matching process of the decline curves heavily relied on the cumulative production in addition to the production rates, which used a thirty-day rolling average of the daily production data. Two equivalent numerical reservoir simulation models were built for the Eagle Ford which primarily used literature sourced values for the properties. The models were history matched to the observed data very well, though each model indicated different conclusions for a suggested Dmin value. Further compounding the results, the range of uncertainty in the matrix porosity property is larger than the range of the Dmin values. Due to this, the authors are not able to use the simulation models to inform parameters in decline curve analyses nor attempt to translate that relationship to other reservoirs.

Download or read book Comparative Study of Decline Curve Analysis Methods Using a Lab scale Gas Reservoir written by Renzo Zamponi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most effective approaches to estimate Original Gas in Place (OGIP) in dry gas volumetric reservoirs is the use of Decline Curve Analysis methods. The strength of these methods is that they rely on the availability of initial reservoir pressure and production data (flow-rate vs time), which are generally abundant, to generate estimates of original gas in place and future production predictions. Decline curve analysis methods are generally validated using field production data or data from computationally reservoir models. Some disadvantages of these validation approaches include the fact that gas reserves cannot be readily obtained from field data, and the accuracy of production predictions from reservoir models is subject to the model reliability. The aim of this study is to investigate the use of a lab-scale gas reservoir to generate reliable production data for a rigorous validation of decline curve analysis methods recently proposed in the literature. The methods under consideration are Flowing Material Balance (Mattar and Anderson, 2003), Ye and Ayala (2012, 2013), Stumpf and Ayala (2016), and Zhang and Ayala (2013, 2014a, 2014b). The lab-scale reservoir was designed, built and tested in a number of experiments, performed at different initial reservoir pressures and confining pressures. The production data obtained were used to estimate OGIP and compared against direct volumetric calculations. The divergence between these two values was called error. OGIP estimates showed good agreement with lab data, with variations in performance quality. The decline models proposed by Ye and Ayala (2012, 2013) and Zhang and Ayala (2013, 2014a, 2014b) yielded the most accurate estimations of Original Gas in Place, with an average error of 8.32 % for the first method and 8.67 % for the second. The Flowing Material Balance method was found to underperform for most lab conditions tested, showing an average error of 11.63 %.
