Development of a calculation scheme for selecting the optimal mode of operation of a gas condensate well taking into account the deformation conditions of the formation

Abstract

To establish premature optimal well operation modes, it is necessary to consider the process of well operation within the framework of ongoing processes in the common reservoir-well hydrodynamic system and take into account the peculiarities of changes in the properties of the gas condensate mixture and the thermobaric conditions of the reservoir in it. Therefore, the object of the study is the operation of a gas condensate well in the event of technological complications in it, which requires the selection of the necessary optimal operating mode to prevent these complications by comprehensively taking into account the factors influencing this process in the “reservoir-well” system.
 The article proposes a calculation scheme for establishing the optimal operating mode of a gas condensate well without the formation of a liquid plug at the bottomhole, taking into account the formation deformation during field development in the depletion mode. The problem is solved by determining the required current working volume of produced gas (as well as condensate), bottomhole and contour values of reservoir pressure, condensate saturation and reservoir porosity. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the determined characteristics of the selected optimal mode of a gas condensate well are significantly affected by a change in the reservoir properties of the reservoir (for example, the permeability of the reservoir), which in turn leads to a change in the optimal working gas flow rate of the well.
 The considered problem has not been previously studied in its full formulation, which is presented in this article, where the solution of the problem under study is achieved taking into account the change in the physical properties of the reservoir fluid and gas, as well as the reservoir properties of the reservoir under conditions of a change in the state of the reservoir system due to emerging deformation processes in the reservoir

Analysis of the development process of deposits with fractured-porous reservoirs based on the Gini coefficient application

“…Effective use of resources in fractured-porous reservoirs requires an integrated approach, including geological modeling, hydrodynamic analysis, geophysical studies and technical expertise. Continuous research and development of new analysis, modeling and production methods are helping to improve the understanding and control of filtration flows in fractured porous reservoirs [9][10][11]. This includes the development of new geophysical methods, modeling of hydrocarbon migration processes and production technologies.…”
