This paper studies the seepage flow mathematical model of three-area composite reservoir under three kinds of outer boundary conditions (infinite boundary, constant pressure boundary and closed boundary), in which influences of well-bore storage and skin factor are not taken into consideration. On the basic of theory of similar structure of solution of boundary value problem of differential equation, this paper obtain the solution of the seepage flow model of three-area composite reservoir. The study is not only conducive to further analyze the inherent law of the solution and solve corresponding application problems, but also easy to compile corresponding analysis software.
The nonlinear spherical seepage flow model has been established for the composite reservoir model. The nonlinear spherical seepage flow model considers the well produce at a constant rate, and the quadratic gradient term under three outer boundary conditions (closed, constant pressure and infinite). Firstly, through variable substitutions, the seepage flow equation is linearized; then the model is transformed into the boundary value problem of an ordinary differential equation by employing the Laplace transform method. It has been confirmed that the Laplace space analytic solutions of such boundary value problems has a formula under different external boundaries, using the Similar Constructive Method(it is a simple and effective new idea for solving this class seepage flow model, complicated calculus calculation is avoided). The prospect of this new method is promising for understanding and studying the inherent laws of fluids flow.
This paper presents a percolation model for the composite reservoir, in which quadratic-gradient effect, well-bore storage, effective radius and three types of outer boundary conditions: constant pressure boundary, closed boundary and infinity boundary are considered. With Laplace transformation, the percolation model was linearized by the substitution of variables and obtained a boundary value problem of the composite modified zero-order Bessel equation. Using the Similar Constructive Method this method, we can gain the distributions of dimensionless reservoir pressure for the composite reservoirs in Laplace space. The similar structures of the solutions are convenient for analyzing the influence of reservoir parameters on pressure and providing significant convenience to the programming of well-test analysis software.
