Application of Variable Formation Compressibility for Improved Reservoir Analysis

Abstract: Formation compressibility has long been recognized as an important factor influencing production behavior from overpressured oil and gas reservoirs. However, formation compressibility data are not routinely collected and the use of formation compressibility in reservoir analysis and simulation is often oversimplified. This paper discusses more accurate methods to determine formation compressibility and introduces a new method for analyzing overpressured oil and gas reservoirs which utilizes the variability of … Show more

“…We will note that this model appears to function very well for the cases that Bourgoyne, et al Our remaining discussions of material balance models will simply address other models that have been proposed in recent times, and give a brief perspective on the utility of such models. Yale, et al 6 proposed a modified formulation of a material balance that is analogous in approach to that of Fetkovich, et al 1 In reference 7, Ambastha proposes and validates a "type curve" concept for a p D (dimensionless p/z function) versus G pD (dimensionless G p function) for the case of an abnormally pressured gas reservoir.…”

“…[2] Given that the deformation of most unconsolidated sands has been observed to depend on both state (contact area or porosity) and deformation rate, it is necessary to include these effects when constructing an appropriate constitutive law [Yale et al, 1993;Ostermeier, 1995;Chang et al, 1997;Hagin and Zoback, 2004]. A natural choice for such a law is the rateand-state variable friction law, since it already contains the necessary terms and was empirically derived from laboratory observations in a concise mathematical form [e.g., Dieterich, 1978Dieterich, , 1979 and has a physical basis in thermally activated creep at high-stress asperity contacts [Nakatani, 2001;Rice et al, 2001;Beeler, 2004;Nakatani and Scholz, 2004].…”
