Improving Gas Recovery of Water Drive Gas Reservoir
Abstract
A gas reservoir with bottom water drive has lower recovery factor compared to depletion drive gas reservoir. Along with the increase in gas demand and the majority of gas reservoirs are water-drive, a method that are still being developed to increase the recovey factor in water-drive gas reservoir is co-production method. This method reducing water influx by planned water production. In this study, a conceptual model of gas reservoir with depletion-drive and water-drive is build and being analyzed. Co-production technique is applied by adding one water production well to the water-drive gas reservoir. The recovery factor is being analyzed through some production scenarios. Sensitivity analysis are being done with parameters including: reservoir permeability, permeability anisotropy, aquifer volume, flow rate of water production, gas tubing head pressure, and gas well perforation interval Furthermore, experimental design, response surface methodology, and monte carlo simulation is used to analyze the influencing parameter of gas recovery factor. It is found from this study that co production increased gas recovery factor by 28% from water drive gas reservoir, with water production rate is the most influencing parameter.
