Evaluation of natural gas production optimization in Kailashtila gas field in Bangladesh using decline curve analysis method

Abstract

Decline curve analysis of well no KTL-04 from the Kailashtila gas field in northeastern Bangladesh has been examined to identify their natural gas production optimization. KTL-04 is one of the major gas producing well of Kailashtila gas field which producing 16.00 mmscfd. Conventional gas production methods depend on enormous computational efforts since production systems from reservoir to a gathering point. The overall performance of a gas production system is determined by flow rate which is involved with system or wellbore components, reservoir pressure, separator pressure and wellhead pressure. Nodal analysis technique is used to performed gas production optimization of the overall performance of the production system. F.A.S.T. Virtu Well™ analysis suggested that declining reservoir pressure 3346.8, 3299.5, 3285.6 and 3269.3 psi(a) while signifying wellhead pressure with no changing of tubing diameter and skin factor thus daily gas production capacity is optimized to 19.637, 24.198, 25.469, and 26.922 mmscfd, respectively.

Economical and Performance Evaluation Between Sucker Rod Pumps and Progressive Cavity Units for Heavy Oil Production in Some Syrian Fields

“…Finally, it is important to remember that the implementation of oil production improvement processes should not be taken lightly. It is essential that these processes are given the appropriate amount of time [35]. The production of oil and gas from a wellbore requires careful consideration and testing in order to reach the optimum goal.…”

Suitability Analysis of the Potential Gas Fields of Bangladesh for Carbon Dioxide Sequestration and A Simulation Approach for Titas Gas Field

“…Also, Clayton [11] identified few small faults within depths of around 2650 to 2750 m. Other analysis also suggests the same. Water injection with reservoir depth analysis reveals that aquifer presents in a shallow depth and compaction water flow exists in the reservoir [12]. The Habiganj gas field sandstones belonging to the Surma group (Bhuban and Bokabil formations) of Miocene-Pliocene age.…”

Origin and Accumulation Mechanism of Gas Condensate in Kailashtila Gas Field, Sylhet Basin, Bangladesh

“…The Bengal Basin forms the typical river-dominated delta in the globe, which is prominent for its huge volume of sedimentary deposit of Tertiary to Recent in age (Alam et al, 2003;Hossain et al, 2010;Shah and Hossain, 2015). It is trace ocean basin, which formed due to north-west contemporaneous drifting and diagonal collision of Indian plate with the Tibetan and Burmese plates (Ingersoll et al, 1995, Alam et al, 2003.…”

“…Three main hydrocarbon zones (e.g. upper gas sand, middle gas sand and lower gas sand) were identified in the Kailashtila succession within the depth between ~2280 and 3045 m. These gas-bearing zones were encountered within the Surma Group of Mio-Pliocene in age (Shah and Hossain, 2015). condensate of KGF in order to infer source, kerogen type, thermal maturity of organic matter, and hydrocarbon accumulation mechanism in the Kailashtila basin, Bangladesh.…”
