Hu Junkun, Li Xiaoping, Li Yan, et al. Evaluation of energy of restricted and closed aquifer in over-pressured gas reservoirs[J]. 2009, 30(6): 689-691.DOI: 10.11743/ogg20090603.
A new method for evaluating the energy of restricted and closed aquifer in over-pressured gas reservoirs is proposed in this paper.Based on the generalized material balance principle and in combination with performance of over-pressured gas reservoirs
this new method can be used to calculate multiple of aquifer—the ratio of aquifer volume to pore volume of gas-bearing zones—for a restricted and closed aquifer in over-pressured gas reservoirs.Then the aquifer energy can be evaluated by using the multiple of aquifer.By applying the method to the well X-3 in Xin Chang gas field
we evaluated the aquifer energy for the reservoirs based on a calculated aquifer multiple of 0.080 5 for the restricted and closed aquifer.The case study shows that this new method is reliable and effective.
