The primary aim of this paper is to assess the effectiveness of using advanced integrated production-data-analysis techniques for condensate-rich tight gas fields. The goal is to reduce uncertainties related to estimating hydrocarbon in place, enhance production forecasting accuracy, and improve reserves estimation. This analysis solely relies on well-production data and flowing pressures, using the rate transient analysis (RTA) and flowing material balance (FMB) techniques.
Methodology and Analysis
Application of Decline-Curve Analysis (DCA) on Tight Gas Wells. The Arps DCA has been applied on each well of Field A (42 wells) using both spreadsheets and field-management software. The decline type adopted for all wells is hyperbolic decline (with b = 0.5), as suggested in many references for gas wells.
