AbstractThis paper experimentally investigates fluid back-flow behavior and formation damage during commingled production in multilayered tight gas reservoirs. The development of fluid back-flow in commingled tight gas reservoirs was simulated using a newly designed experimental platform. The results indicate that when there is a pressure difference between different layers during commingled production from tight gas reservoir, water produced from the high-pressure layer will invade the low-pressure layer along with gas back-flow and will accumulate in the near-wellbore area. This will lead to an increase in water saturation and a decline in permeability in the low-pressure layer and result in a significant reduction in ultimate recovery. The outcomes of these experiments demonstrate that as well as the formation damage caused by the working fluid during drilling and fracturing, “Secondary Formation Damage” also occurs during commingled production in multilayered tight gas reservoirs. This secondary formation damage mainly occurs in the near-wellbore area of low-pressure layers and is more severe with greater proximity to the wellbore. Through further experimentation to assess the factors influencing secondary formation damage, it is shown that the degree of secondary formation damage increases with decreasing original formation pressure, original water saturation, and permeability in the lower-pressure layer.
