Abstract Gas content is one of the most important parameters of shale reservoir evaluation and productivity evaluation. In order to obtain gas content accurately, based on the first law of Fick and material balance equation, mathematical model of gas dispersion flow in shale reservoir is established, analytical solution is obtained, and evaluation method of gas dispersion in shale reservoir is formed. On the basis of this study, the onsite desorption gas measuring device and testing process for coring shale gas wells are designed, the time-varying shale desorption gas is obtained, and the residual gas of shale is measured by the crushing method. The calculation formula of shale gas content is obtained by fitting the test data, the shale gas loss, and total gas content are calculated, and then analyzed the influences of the shale gas-bearing properties and gas content on single well production and geological reserves by combining the data of shale absorbed gas. The results show that the gas content calculated by the new method is about 6.54% more than that of log interpretation, and about 7.57% on average more than that obtained by traditional empirical method. The gas content proportion of long Yi1 subsegmental small layers 1 and 2 is smaller than that of long Yi1 subsegmental small layers 3 and 4 and long Yi2 subsegmental. It is considered that the amount of shale gas lost is large, because of the pressure release during the coring, and the comparative error of gas content obtained by several methods is within the acceptable range. So the new method can be used as an important mean to obtain shale gas content. The most direct factors affecting gas content are complex: Buried depth, porosity, total organic carbon content, water saturation, and formation temperature. Shale gas content is the material basis of single well production and geological reserves of shale gas, and it is also the decisive factor. Therefore, the accurate evaluation of shale gas content is one of the key techniques to evaluate shale gas well productivity and shale gas resources, which is of great significance.

The phenomenon of hydrate freeze-plugging is very widespread in Jilin oilfield M gas field exploitation. Freeze-plugging tends to occur in winter, mainly including ground pipeline, wellhead and wellbore freeze-plugging, etc, which affects the normal production of gas well, also has restricted the gas reservoir development and will cause huge economic losses. In order to prevent the freeze-plugging occurred in gas well, methyl alcohol is used to inject into single well at the rate of 600 to 3080 L/day. The field condition shows that the result of injecting methanol is not obvious, besides, the toxicity of methanol and its high cost already cannot satisfy the oilfield actual demand. Therefore, we need to research and develop new hydrate inhibitors with low cost and high efficiency to solve the problem of freeze-plugging.

A large amount of foreign matter appears in the Sulige gas well, causing blockage and corrosion of the pipeline, increasing the pressure difference in the wellbore and seriously affecting the normal production of the gas well. The gas wells with serious conditions mentioned above were selected to analyze the quality of single well produced water and the composition of blockage and core. Combined with the XRD analysis results of the cuttings, the long-term leaching experiments on the cuttings in different simulated solutions were carried out to study the sources of scaled ions in the gas wells. The experimental results showed that the extracted water from SD6-1 had high salinity and high content of scale ions Ca2+, Ba2+ and Sr2+;the main component of blockage is the acid insoluble strontium sulfate (barium) scale, and contains a small amount of corrosion products. The easily scalable Ca2+、Mg2+、Ba2+ and Sr2+ produced from the dissolution of the core in the formation water or working fluids, especially the acid erosion dissolves. According to the scaling mechanism, two kinds of Sr/Ba scale inhibitor were selected. The results showed that the barium II scale inhibitor performance is relatively good, and at the concentration of 40 mg/L, and the scale inhibition rate was more than 95%. The clogging of a single well can be reduced by adding a scale inhibitor.

Typical tight gas reservoirs in the Su53 Gas Field, Ordos Basin, are the demonstration region for deploying horizontal wells. In order to provide foundation for evaluating the volume fracturing adaptability of horizontal wells, through using the amplitude difference data between deep investigate double lateral resistivity (Rd) and shallow investigate double lateral resistivity (Rs), and other conventional logging data, in combination with the response characteristics of fracture in the logging curve, reservoir fracture was quantitatively identified with the variable scale fractal technique, the vertical heterogeneity of fracture distribution was analyzed, and the relationship between fractal dimension value of fracture and initial deliverability of gas well was researched. The results indicate that, this method is applied to quantitatively identify and evaluate the fracture development degree of single-well is feasible; the relationship between fractal dimension value and fracture development degree is positively relative, fractal dimension value is bigger, the fracture is more developed; there is a good corresponding relationship between fractal dimension value and deliverability of gas well, fractal dimension value decreases with a decrease of deliverability.

With the continuous development, the gas well productivity will decrease. The deliverability test can be used to evaluate gas well productivity, but this method always needs long test which will affect daily production seriously, especially for low permeability gas wells, also there always isn’t enough data in the field. Aiming at this problem, this article presents a new real time method to get the gas well productivity. This new method avoids deliverability test and only needs daily production and wellhead pressure data, so the analysis process is easy and this method has strong practicality. It is proved that this new method works well in the field case.

AbstractIt is very important to accurately predict the gas well productivity and reasonably allocate the gas production at the early development stage of gas reservoirs. However, both the non-Darcy and stress sensitivity effects have not been investigated in dual-porosity model of tight carbonate gas reservoirs. This paper proposed a new dual-porosity binomial deliverability model and single-well production proration numerical model, which consider the effects of non-Darcy and stress sensitivity. The field gas well deliverability tests data validated the accuracy of the new analytical model, which is a very helpful deliverability method when lacking deliverability test. A geological model was built on the results of the well log, well testing, and well production analysis. Then, a reasonable production proration analysis was conducted based on history matched single-well numerical model. The gas productivity index curve and production–prediction of MX22 several simulation cases were adopted to analyze the reasonable production proration. The results indicate that 1/6 may be suitable for high productivity gas well proration. In addition, the absolute open flow rate from the numerical simulation is higher than that from the new deliverability equation, which also shows that the pressure transient analysis sometimes has some deviation in formation property prediction. It is suggested comprehensively utilizing the analytical binomial model and the single-well numerical model in tight carbonate gas well deliverability evaluation.

During the development of water drive gas reservoirs, the phenomena of gas escaping from water and water separating out from gas will change the seepage characteristics of formation fluid. Therefore, the traditional gas-water two-phase inflow performance relationship (IPR) models are not suitable for calculating the water producing gas well inflow performance relationship in water drive gas reservoirs. Based on the basic theory of fluid mechanics in porous medium, using the principle of mass conservation, and considering the process of dissolution and volatilization of gas and water formation, this paper establishes a new mathematical model of gas-water two-phase flow. Multiobjective optimization method is used to automatically match the sample well production data in water drive gas reservoirs and then we can achieve the sample well’s productivity equation, relative permeability curve, water influx intensity, and single well controlled reserves. In addition, the influence of different production gas water ratios (GWR) and gas-soluble water coefficients on absolute open flow rate (qAOF) is discussed. This method remedied the limitation of well testing on site and was considered to be a new way to analyze the production behaviors in water producing gas well.
