Decline Curve Analysis in Composite Reservoirs
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this study, the rate decline and cumulative influx of a constant pressure well in a composite reservoir is presented. For infinite composite reservoirs, the effects of the mobility ratio X, the storativity ratio to, and the discontinuity radius RD on the rate and cumulative influx responses are described. For bounded composite reservoirs, the effects of the dimensionless reservoir outer radius, r^, is discussed. The effect of wellbore skin on the flow rate response in both infinite and bounded reservoirs is also presented.Type curves for the dimensionless wellbore flow rate in both infinite and bounded composite reservoirs are provided. These type curves are to be used for log-log type curve matching. An analysis method that comprises conventional semi-log analysis and log-log type curve matching to determine the dimensionless variables is proposed. Finally, this analysis method is tested and demonstrated with simulated data.
