3 Executive Summary Module Objectives Course Objectives: (the student should be able to...) Derive the steady-state and pseudosteady-state flow equations for horizontal linear and radial flow of liquids and gases (including the pseudopressure and pressure-squared formulations). Sketch pressure versus time and pressure versus distance trends for a reservoir system exhibiting transient, pseudosteady-state, and steady-state flow behavior. Derive the "skin factor" variable from the steady-state flow equation and be able to describe the conditions of damage and stimulation using this variable. Define and use dimensionless variables and dimensionless solutions to illustrate the generic performance of a particular reservoir model. Derive the analysis and interpretation methodologies (i.e., "conventional plots" and type curve analysis) for pressure drawdown and pressure buildup tests, for liquid, gas, and multiphase flow systems. This effort should include the use of pseudopressure and pseudotime concepts for the analysis of well test and production data from dry gas and solution-gas drive oil reservoir systems). Apply dimensionless solutions ("type curves") and field variable solutions ("specialized plots") for the following "well test" cases: unfractured and fractured wells in infinite and finite-acting, homogeneous and dual porosity reservoirs. Design and implement a well test sequence, as well as a long-term production/injection surveillance program. Analyze production data (rate-time or pressure-rate-time data) to obtain reservoir volume and estimates of reservoir properties for gas and liquid reservoir systems. Also be able to predict production performance using simplified solutions. Demonstrate the capability to integrate, analyze, and interpret well test and production data to characterize a reservoir in terms of reservoir properties and performance potential (field study project).

Skin Concept Generally speaking, use of the skin concept (or skin "factor") tends to "isolate" pressure behavior that cannot be directly attributed to the reservoir. This is an oversimplification, but it is convenient, and is widely used. Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 21
22 Module 4: Well Test Analysis Orientation This module will focus specifically on the analysis and interpretation of deliverability test data and pressure transient test data. The issues must be clear: test design, data acquisition/data quality control, and test execution are critical activities. Deliverability Testing: Keep it simple a "4-point" test is appropriate. Isochronal testing is very difficult to implement. Pressure Transient Test Analysis/Interpretation: Conventional analysis is consistent/appropriate. Model identification (log-log (or type curve) analysis). Test design keep it simple. Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 22

Log-log "summary plot" note the corrected and uncorrected data (well interference). c. Horner semilog plot note the two semilog trends confirm the radial composite model. Discussion: "Well interference" is much more common than previously thought and we must recognize the characteristic behavior on each plot: Log-log plot (b) Semilog plot (c) Specialized plot (a) Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 26

28 Module 5: Analysis of Production Data Production data "low frequency" (taken at large (or even random) intervals) and "low resolution" (data quality (i.e., accuracy) is minimal). Simple Analysis: Rate-time decline curve analysis. EUR analysis (usually rate-cumulative or variation). New stuff advanced analysis based on a simple, yet robust model (e.g., Knowles q g -G p analysis) Decline type curve analysis: Systematic, model-based analysis approach. Model identification transient data analysis. Volume estimates pseudosteady-state behavior is dictated by material balance (very consistent). Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 28

30 Module 5: Production Analysis EUR Analysis Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) profile for a mid-continent (U.S.) gas well there is considerable variation in the data. Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 30
31 Module 5: Production Analysis WPA Approach Note that the WPA approach provides a unique analysis/ interpretation of the well performance history. Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 31
32 Module 5: Production Analysis New Stuff (Gas) New analysis and interpretation methodologies based on the "Knowles" rate-time solution for pseudosteady-state gas flow. The result of interest for this work is the quadratic "rate-cumulative" production relation given as: "Knowles" rate-time relations for gas flow: Approximation valid for p i <6000 psia.

34 Module 5: Production Analysis New Stuff (Gas) a. q g vs. G p : Simulated Gas Case b. q gi,t vs. G p : Simulated Gas Case q g vs. G p : Used "spreadsheet" approach, with multiple data functions (on different plots) being matched simultaneously. Data match is shown with "high" and "low" trends (+/- 10 percent) as well as the correct trend (overlain in this figure). q gi,t vs. G p : Similar to the q q vs. G p plot (and used simultaneously with this plot). Smoother than q q data. q gi,t definition: q gi 1 t, t = t 0 q g dt Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 34

36 Module 5: Production Analysis the hard way... "Van Everdingen-Meyer Method: "Analysis by simulation" (use analytical solution to define x- axis plotting function). Considers all of the data, needs a complete model to generate an appropriate analysis/interpretation. Theoretically simple, practical. Pro: Theoretically simple and practical (can use field data). Con: Limited by solution model as well as data quality. From: SPE Whitson and Sognesand (1988). Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 36
37 Module 5: Production Analysis History Lessons From: SPE Fetkovich (1973). Composite Transient Type Curve: Collapses the transient flow trends into "stems" related to reservoir size and skin factor (Fetkovich, 1973). Composite Total Type Curve: Addition of the "Arps" empirical trends for "boundary-dominated flow behavior (Fetkovich, 1973)." Assumptions: Constant bottomhole pressure. "Liquid" flow (not gas). From: SPE Fetkovich (1973). Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 37
38 Module 5: Production Analysis History Lessons From: SPE Doublet, et al (1994). Fetkovich Derivative Type Curve: Good concept, but just try to take the derivative of production data... Fetkovich-McCray Type Curve: Concept is to generate "integral" functions for data analysis, much better performance than simply using rate. Still Need: Variable pressure/rate methods. Other models fractured wells, horizontal wells, etc... From: SPE Palacio, et al (1993). Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 38
39 Module 5: Production Analysis History Lessons From: SPE Palacio, et al (1993). UNFRACTURED Well Case Variable Rate/Pressure Approach: Use "material balance time" (xaxis) and "pressure drop normalized rate" (y-axis) functions. Good news: New concept provides unique behavior during boundarydominated flow regime. Not-So-Good-News: Wellbore pressure data are critical. From: SPE Doublet, et al (1994). Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 39
40 Module 5: Production Analysis History Lessons MULTIWELL Analysis Multiwell case can be "recast" into single well case using cumulative production for entire field. Homogeneous reservoir example shows that all cases (9 wells) align same behavior observed for heterogeneous reservoir cases. From: SPE Marhaendrajana (2001). From: SPE Marhaendrajana (2001). From: SPE Marhaendrajana (2001). Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 40
41 Module 5: Production Analysis Scaling Production data analyses and pressure transient analyses "see" the reservoir as a volumeaveraged set of properties. New solutions/models will also have this view of the reservoir, but quantifying heterogeneity may be possible by the analysis of data at the "local" level. Scaling will remain a major issue regardless of the mechanism used to analyze reservoir performance. From: Simulator Parameter Assignment and the Problem of Scaling in Reservoir Engineering Halderson (1986). Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 41
42 Module 5: Production Analysis Future Future of Production Data Analysis: Evolutionary changes: Better data acquisition (major issue). Multiwell analysis (major issue). Better software (major issue). More reservoir/well solutions (minor issue). Revolutionary changes: Direct dataflow into integrated packages for analysis/simulation (5-10 years). Real-time rate-pressure optimization, simultaneous monitoring and control (5-10 years). Introduction Analysis of Reservoir Performance Slide 42
