The present disclosure belongs to the field of gas reservoir development, and in particular to a prediction method for constant production decline of a water-producing gas well in a highly heterogeneous reservoir.
Natural gas is considered to be a safer energy overall. There are various advantages of natural gas. For example, the use of natural gas can reduce the consumption of coal and petroleum, which alleviates environmental pollution to a great extent. Besides, it is helpful to cut down emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and dust, thereby reducing acid rain and fundamentally improving environmental quality. Therefore, natural gas exploitation has become particularly important. However, for a water-producing gas well in a highly heterogeneous reservoir, both strong heterogeneity and water production of the reservoir may cause changes in gas well production, resulting in the decline of natural gas well production different from conventional gas wells. Therefore, how to evaluate reservoir heterogeneity and decline of gas well production has become a breakthrough point in gas reservoir development.
At present, Chinese Patent CN201410638125.7 (entitled OIL AND GAS WELL PRODUCTION DECLINE ANALYSIS METHOD AND SYSTEM) provides an oil and gas well production decline analysis method and system that can be applied to production analysis and dynamic evaluation of shale gas wells and other types of oil and gas wells; however, this method is only intended to predict the production decline of gas wells without considering constant rate production in the process of actual gas well production, and the method fails to predict production of heterogeneous and water-producing gas wells. Chinese Patent CN201310314083.7 (entitled DYNAMIC ANALYSIS METHOD AND SYSTEM OF FRACTURE-CAVE CARBONATE GAS RESERVOIR) can predict the production performance of a fracture-cave heterogeneous gas reservoir in a mode of constant rate production, but cannot predict the production performance of a water-producing gas well. Therefore, in order to establish a better prediction method for constant production decline of a water-producing gas well in a highly heterogeneous reservoir, dynamic prediction is carried out on constant rate production of the water-producing gas well in the highly heterogeneous reservoir.
An objective of the present disclosure is to achieve production performance prediction of gas wells in highly-heterogeneous water-producing gas reservoirs under the condition of constant rate production, and to form a prediction method for constant production decline of a water-producing gas well in a highly heterogeneous reservoir, so as to lay a foundation for gas reservoir development.
