Advanced Production Decline Analysis and Application

About this book

In recent years, production decline-curve analysis has become the most widely used tool in the industry for oil and gas reservoir production analysis. However, most curve analysis is done by computer today, promoting a "black-box" approach to engineering and leaving engineers with little background in the fundamentals of decline analysis. Advanced Production Decline Analysis and Application starts from the basic concept of advanced production decline analysis, and thoroughly discusses several decline methods, such as Arps, Fetkovich, Blasingame, Agarwal-Gardner, NPI, transient, long linear flow, and FMB. A practical systematic introduction to each method helps the reservoir engineer understand the physical and mathematical models, solve the type curves and match up analysis, analyze the processes and examples, and reconstruct all the examples by hand, giving way to master the fundamentals behind the software. An appendix explains the nomenclature and major equations, and as an added bonus, online computer programs are available for download.- Understand the most comprehensive and current list of decline methods, including Arps, Fetkovich, Blasingame, and Agarwal-Gardner- Gain expert knowledge with principles, processes, real-world cases and field examples- Includes online downloadable computer programs on Blasingame decline type curves and normalized pseudo-pressure of gas wells

Fundamentals of Advanced Production Decline Analysis

Abstract

Advanced production decline analysis (APDA), or rate transient analysis or production analysis, is a procedure to process and interpret the daily production data of wells for obtaining parameters of such wells or reservoirs. This chapter introduces the history of APDA based on filtration theory, its similarities to and differences with well test analysis. In addition, this chapter also introduces several concepts related to the APDA.

Advanced production decline analysis (APDA), or rate transient analysis or production analysis, is a procedure to process and interpret the daily production data of wells for obtaining parameters of such wells or reservoirs. This chapter introduces the history of APDA based on filtration theory, its similarities to and differences with well test analysis. In addition, this chapter also introduces several concepts related to the APDA.

1.1. History of Advanced Production Decline Analysis (APDA)

At the middle and later stages of reservoir development, daily production data of a well becomes the focus for reservoir analysis. They can be used to forecast the most probable well life, evaluate well production in the future, and determine the interwell communication relation and infill potential. Currently, the production decline analysis technique consists of the conventional Arps (1945) method, classical Fetkovich (1980) type curve matching method, modern Palacio and ...
