This study performed the simulation to identify the effects of sorption behavior about inflow performance relationship in the coalbed. In the conventional gas reservoir without sorption, the turbulence flow is gradually generated as the pressure drop between the reservoir and bottom-hole is higher. Thus, it is ineffective production method for maximizing the pressure difference due to turbulence flow. In the CBM reservoir within sorption, the deliverability exponent becomes higher with increasing desorption gas. As the Langmuir volume ranges from 200 to 250 SCF/ton, it has been observed that the deliverability exponent exceeds the standard range from 0.5 to 1.0. When the deliverability exponent increases, the effects on pressure drop about production rate are preferred. Consequently, it was identified that it is effective production method for maximizing the pressure drop due to deliverability exponent in CBM field.

Accurately calculating dynamic reserves for single well in a low-permeability gas reservoir has an important guiding significance to high efficiency development of the gas reservoir. During the development of the gas reservoir, dynamic analysis methods were often used to calculate dynamic reserves. Dynamic analysis methods mainly include the material balance method, the gas production method in unit pressure drop, the flexible two-phase method and the production unstable method. Dynamic reserves for four types of gas wells in a low-permeability gas field were calculated using these four methods. Calculation results show that dynamic reserves from big to small are respectively obtained using material balance method, gas production method in unit pressure drop, flexible two-phase method and production unstable method. Calculating dynamic reserves obtained by flexible two-phase method and production unstable method are utilized to production dynamic data of gas well, and those obtained by material balance method and gas production method in unit pressure drop are utilized to the reservoir parameters of different state. Therefore, the values of dynamic reserves obtained using flexible two-phase method and production unstable method in the low-permeability gas reservoir may be more accurate than those obtained using the other methods.

In most oilfields, many wells produce in pseudo-steady-state period for a long time. Because of large reservoir pressure drop in this period, fractured reservoirs always show strong stress sensitivity and fracture closure is likely to occur near wellbores. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate productivity of vertical wells incorporating fracture closure and reservoir pressure drop. Firstly, a new composite model was developed to deal with stress sensitivity and fracture closure existed in fractured reservoirs. Secondly, considering reservoir saturation condition, new pseudo-steady productivity equations for vertical wells were derived by using the proposed composite system. Thirdly, related inflow performance characteristics and influence of some factors on them were also discussed in detail. Results show that fracture closure has a great effect on vertical well inflow performance and fracture closure radius is negatively correlated with well productivity. In this composite model, the effects of stress sensitivity of the inner and outer zone on well productivity are rather different. The inner zone’s stress sensitivity affects well productivity significantly, but the outer zone’s stress sensitivity just has a weak effect on the productivity. Strong stress sensitivity in the inner zone leads to low well productivity, and both inflow performance and productivity index curves bend closer to the bottom-hole pressure axis with stress sensitivity intensifying. Meanwhile, both maximum productivity and optimal bottom-hole pressure can be achieved from inflow performance curves. In addition, reservoir pressure is positively correlated with vertical well productivity. These new productivity equations and inflow performance curves can directly provide quantitative reference for optimizing production system in fractured reservoirs.

Production Behavior

Influenced by the complex sedimentary environment, a well always penetrates multiple layers with different properties, which leads to the difficulty of analyzing the production behavior for each layer. Therefore, in this paper, a semi-analytical model to evaluate the production performance of each layer in a stress-sensitive multilayer carbonated gas reservoir is proposed. The flow of fluids in layers composed of matrix, fractures, and vugs can be described by triple-porosity/single permeability model, and the other layers could be characterized by single porosity media. The stress-sensitive exponents for different layers are determined by laboratory experiments and curve fitting, which are considered in pseudo-pressure and pseudo-time factor. Laplace transformation, Duhamel convolution, Stehfest inversion algorithm are used to solve the proposed model. Through the comparison with the classical solution, and the matching with real bottom-hole pressure data, the accuracy of the presented model is verified. A synthetic case which has two layers, where the first one is tight and the second one is full of fractures and vugs, is utilized to study the effects of stress-sensitive exponents, skin factors, formation radius and permeability for these two layers on production performance. The results demonstrate that the initial well production is mainly derived from high permeable layer, which causes that with the rise of formation permeability and radius, and the decrease of stress-sensitive exponents and skin factors, in the early stage, the bottom-hole pressure and the second layer production rate will increase. While the first layer contributes a lot to the total production in the later period, the well bottom-hole pressure is more influenced by the variation of formation and well condition parameters at the later stage. Compared with the second layer, the scales of formation permeability and skin factor for first layer have significant impacts on production behaviors.

To solve the high leakage and high wear problems faced by sealing devices in aeroengines under the condition of high axial pressure difference, the two-stage finger seal is proposed in this paper. The finite element method and computational fluid dynamics (FEM/CFD) coupling iterative algorithm of the two-stage finger seal is developed and validated. Then the performance advantages of two-stage finger seal compared to the one-stage finger seal are studied, as well as the leakage and the inter-stage pressure drop characteristics of two-stage finger seal are investigated. Finally, the measure to improve the inter-stage imbalance of pressure drop of two-stage finger seal is proposed. The results show that the two-stage finger seal has lower leakage and lower contact pressure than the one-stage finger seal at high axial pressure difference, but there exists an inter-stage imbalance of pressure drop. Increasing the axial pressure difference and the root mean square (RMS) roughness of finger element can aggravate the imbalance of pressure drop, while the radial displacement excitation of rotor has little influence on it. The results also indicate that the inter-stage imbalance of pressure drop of the two-stage finger seal can be improved by increasing the number of finger elements of the 1st finger seal and decreasing the number of finger elements of the 2nd finger seal.

The accurate prediction of the dynamic reserves of gas reservoirs is the important research content of the development of dynamic analysis of gas reservoirs. It is of great significance to the stable and safe production and the formulation of scientific and rational development programs of gas reservoirs. The production methods of dynamic reserves of gas reservoirs mainly include material balance method, unit pressure drop of gas production method and elastic two-phase method. To clarify the characteristics of these methods better, in this paper, we took two typeⅠwells of a constant volume gas reservoir as an example, the dynamic reserves of single well controlled were respectively calculated, and the results show that the order of the calculated volume of the dynamic reserves by using different methods is material balance method> unit pressure drop of gas production method >elastic two-phase method. Because the material balance method is a static method, unit pressure drop of gas production method and elastic two-phase method are dynamic methods, therefore, for typeⅠwells of constant volume gas reservoirs, when the gas wells reached the quasi-steady state, the elastic two-phase method is used to calculate the dynamic reserves, and when the gas wells didn’t reach the quasi-steady state, unit pressure drop of gas production method is used to calculate the dynamic reserves. The conclusion has some certain theoretical value for the prediction of dynamic reserves for constant volume gas reservoirs.

Abstract There are the problems in the traditional pressure-compensation flow-control valve, such as low flow control accuracy, small flow control difficulty, and limited flow range. For this, a method of continuous control pressure drop Δprated (i.e. the pressure drop across the main throttling orifice) to control flow-control valve flow is proposed. The precise control of small flow is realized by reducing the pressure drop Δprated and the flow range is amplified by increasing pressure drop Δprated. At the same time, it can also compensate the flow force to improve the flow control accuracy by regulating the pressure drop Δprated. In the research, the flow-control valve with controllable pressure compensation capability (FVCP) was designed firstly and theoretically analyzed. Then the sub-model model of PPRV and the joint simulation model of the FVCP were established and verified through experiments. Finally, the continuous control characteristics of pressure drop Δprated, the flow characteristics, and flow force compensation were studied. The research results demonstrate that, compared with the traditional flow-control valve, the designed FVCP can adjust the compensation pressure difference in the range of 0∼3.4 MPa in real-time. And the flow rate can be altered within the range of 44%∼136% of the rated flow. By adjusting the compensation pressure difference to compensate the flow force, the flow control accuracy of the multi-way valve is improved, and the flow force compensation effect is obvious.

Large Investment

To seek the fan operating point on a cooling system with fans, it is very important to determine the system impedance curve and it has been usually examined with the fan tester based on ASHRAE standard and AMCA standard. This leads to a large investment in time and cost, because it could not be executed until the system is made actually. Therefore it is necessary to predict the system impedance curve through numerical analysis so that we could reduce the measurement time and effort. This paper presents how the system impedance curve (pressure drop curve) is computed by CFD in substitute for experiment. In reverse order to the experimental principle of the fan tester, pressure difference was adopted first as inlet and outlet boundary conditions of the system and then flow rate was calculated. After determining the system impedance curve, it was compared with experimental results. Also the computational domain of the system was investigated to minimize computational time.

At late stage of development of gas fields they need to solve the specific issues of increasing the production rate of wells and decreasing water cut. The available experience of development of gas and gas condensate fields proves, that the most effective method of removing of water, accumulating in wells, is an injection into the bottom hole zone of foam-forming compositions, based on surfactants. The most technological in the application was the use of solid and liquid surfactants. Installation in wells of lift columns of smaller diameter ensured the removal of liquid from the bottom hole of wells, but after few month of exploitation the conditions of removal of liquid from the bottom hole of wells deteriorate. The technologies of concentric lift systems and plunger-lift systems are used in small number of wells. The basic technology for removal of liquid from bottom hole of gas wells at present time is the technology of treatment of bottom hole of wells with solid surfactants.

Gas Lift

Gas lift is one of the artificial lift method that has mechanism to decrease the flowing pressure gradient in the pipe or relieving the fluid column inside the tubing by injecting amount of gas into the annulus between casing and tubing. The volume of  injected gas was inversely proportional to decreasing of  flowing  pressure gradient, the more volume of gas injected the smaller the pressure gradient. Increasing flowrate is expected by decreasing pressure gradient, but it does not always obtained when the well is in optimum condition. The increasing of flow rate will not occured even though the volume of injected gas is abundant. Therefore, the precisely design of gas lift included amount of cycle, gas injection volume and oil recovery estimation is needed. At the begining well AB-1 using artificial lift method that was continuos gas lift with PI value assumption about 0.5 STB/D/psi. Along with decreasing of production flow rate dan availability of the gas injection in brownfield, so this well must be analyze to determined the appropriate production method under current well condition. There are two types of gas lift method, continuous and intermittent gas lift. Each type of gas lift has different optimal condition to increase the production rate. The optimum conditions of continuous gaslift are high productivity 0.5 STB/D/psi and minimum production rate 100 BFPD. Otherwise, the intermittent gas lift has limitations PI and production rate which is lower than continuous gas lift.The results of the analysis are Well AB-1 has production rate gain amount 20.75 BFPD from 23 BFPD became 43.75 BFPD with injected gas volume 200 MSCFPD and total cycle 13 cycle/day. This intermittent gas lift design affected gas injection volume efficiency amount 32%.
