The introduction of the notion of pseudo-pres-sures allows rigorous, analytical solutions to a wide range of gas flow problems. However, in order to apply pseudo-pressuro based solution techniques a num-ber of cumbersome procedures are invoked to take res-ervoir pressures and convert them into pseudo-pres-sures. These include dimensionless table look up, numerical integration and regression analysis. To then convert the corresponding pseudo-pressures back to their analagous reservoir pressures, graphical and/or regression techniques need to be employed. This paper, then, examines the use of a semi-analvtical approach to real gas pseudo-pressure/pres-sure conversion calculations and its application to well test analvsis. The semi-analytical approach to real gas pseudo-preseures allows, a simple, direct and exact solution for converting pseudo-pressure to pressures and vice Versa. No numerical integration, graphical or regression techniques are needed and the approach is well-suited for desktop or minicomputers. It is applicable to a Wide range of reservoir properties ties including sweet and sour gases, reservoir pres-sures up to 10,000 psia and reservoir temperatures up to 460'F.Well test ana]vees have then been carried out on a number of published buildup, drawdoun and deliver-ability tests using the semi-analytical approach. 227 Comparisons have been made between test interpreta-tion results using traditional pseudo-pressure calcu-lations and analyses from the semi-analytical ap-proach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
