Unsteady-State Pressure Response Created by a Partially Penetrating Well in a Parallelepiped Reservoir
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The parallelepiped shaped reservoir can be modeled in a straight-forward manner through the use of Green's and source functions. The analogy of fitting no-flow boundaries on the top and sides of the model and a constant pressure lower boundary matches the assumed presence of impermeable vertical faults and overlying formation and a steam-water interface at depth in the geothermal reservoir being modeled.Fluid and reservoir properties are assumed to be constant with the magnitude of the effective permeability chosen for each of the three principle axes. The analytic equations describing pressure drop in the reservoir due t o a partially penetrating well are derived using Green's and source functions. A computer program produces listings and graphs for dimensionless pressure drop as a function of dimensionless time at observation points anywhere in the reservoir. Two reservoir geometries each with two depths of penetration were examined. It is expected that the long time pressure response will lead to a method of type curve and general data matching that will identify the extent and productivity of in-situ reservoirs.
