The Study of Flowing Law of Typical well Patterns in Low Permeability Reservoirs

Article Preview

Abstract:

Low permeability reservoirs have abundant reserves, accounting for about one-third of all the reservoir storage, but the development is difficult and the recovery is low because of its poor natural property. Reasonable well pattern, well pattern parameters and fracture parameters can be effective in improving the development of low-permeability reservoir. Therefore, studying flow law of various well networks, choosing a reasonable well pattern and corresponding well parameters, are key issues of cost-effective development of low permeability reservoir. Based on extensive investigations of former researches, this paper studies the flow law of vertical well patterns and the effect of permeability differential on flow law. Adaptive study of those different kinds of well patterns has been done by numerical simulation method, including the five point well pattern, inverted seven point well pattern and the inverted nine point well pattern. Studying the typical horizontal well pattern on the flow law, comparing the characteristics of the streamlines. Choosing a reasonable form of well pattern and the well pattern parameters.
