Oil And Gas Reservoirs

Shale oil and gas reservoirs are developed by MFHWs. After large-scale hydraulic fracturing, it is hard to forecast the production rate using the theoretical method. In the engineering application field, the empirical method of DCA is often used to forecast the production rate of shale oil and gas produced by MFHWs. However, there are some problems in using DCA, like how to find out the proper decline model and switch point of two contiguous flowing periods and how to deal with the unsteady operation condition which causes a lot of uncertainty in production forecast. In order to solve these problems, firstly, a straight line model, representing the linear flow period in the life cycle of shale oil and gas produced by MFHWs, in the Q , lg   q coordinate system is proven to be theoretically proper. Secondly, the duration of the linear flow period is verified to be over 10~15 years by using an analytical model to do the calculation with the method of Monte Carlo random sampling taking a large amount of parameter combinations of Eagle Ford shale oil and gas reservoirs into calculation. And a field data analysis of Barnett and Eagle Ford also shows that the duration of linear flow period can be more than 10~15 years. Thus, a method of production forecast taking advantage of the straight line feature in the Q , lg   q coordinate system is raised. After practical use, it is found that the method is robust and can increase the forecast efficiency and decrease the manual error. Moreover, it can increase the accuracy of production forecast and deal with some unsteady operation conditions. Therefore, this new method has good promotional value in the engineering field.
