The method for calculating technological indicators in the development of gas wells while considering the thermobaric and thermodynamic conditions within the “reservoir-well” system

Considering the substantial prevalence of gas fields in the pool of developed fields, their development requires specialized approaches with the primary objective of optimizing the production process. The effectiveness of gas field development hinges on achieving the highest possible gas recovery factor. Achieving a high limit of the ultimate return of gas fields relies on decisions that vary depending on the precision of design estimates carried out at different stages of development and their timely execution. The accuracy of such estimates is, if possible, directly contingent on the thorough consideration of geological, technical, and technological factors when formulating methods for determining field development and operation indicators. Given the above considerations, this article proposes a methodology for determining the technological indicators of gas reservoir development, which enables to anticipate changes in reservoir pressure, temperature, and porosity of the gas reservoir, while accounting for the gas-dynamic interplay within the “reservoir-well” system in the depletion phase. The developed approach makes it possible to reliably ascertain reservoir development metrics by factoring in well conditions, temperature distribution within the reservoir, and reservoir deformation. In addition, it facilitates the necessary assessment for determining optimal well operations in light of reservoir conditions.
