Overpressured Gas-Condensate Reservoir Analysis

This document summarizes an example of an overpressured gas-condensate reservoir in the Gulf Coast with high permeability. Two shut-in pressures were measured at different production times. The reservoir shows evidence of significant compaction based on comparisons of production and shut-in data. Geomechanical models or a time-dependent skin parameter can be used to model compaction and match both flowing and shut-in pressure data.

Example #10- Overpressured Reservoir (example10.

csv)

Description:

- Gulf coast well; high permeability, formation is overpressured


- Two shut-in pressures are measured at different times during the production
- Gas-condensate reservoir; high condensate yield. Gas gravity and flow rates
are adjusted to reflect wet-gas conditions. Dew point is ~ 7,200 psia.
- Surface measured pressures are corrected to bottomhole
- This well shows evidence of significant compaction, through comparison of
production and shut-in data

Reservoir / Wellbore Parameters:

Pi = 17,800 psia (bottomhole)


T = 350 deg F
h = 70 ft
Porosity = 18 %
Sw = 35 %
G = 0.95
CO2, N2 = 4.8, 0.15

Questions:

- Does the well exhibit boundary dominated flow?


- After attempting a history match, is it possible to honor the shut-in pressures
with the match?

Using the Geomechanical Model

- The compaction effect is apparent in the discrepancy between shut-in and


flowing pressure trends. This effect can be accounted for by invoking
“Geomechanical Models” from Options on the main menu bar. The
geomechanical models option will produce a default table of pressure
dependent permeabilities and rock compressibilities which will be used in the
analytical (and numerical) models. Correct calibration of these correlations
will enable a consistent match of both flowing and shut-in data. The
correlations and data are accessible through the Advanced Properties
(Formation) page
- Another method for modeling compaction is to use a time dependent skin
(available in the Analytical Models section). Again, this parameter may be
used to calibrate the history match and honor both flowing and shut-in data.
