Abstract

The decline curve analysis refers to the estimation of some measure of well performance. The linearization of Arps hyperbolic decline curves leads to the estimation of initial value of decline exponent. This work proposes a graphical method to estimate the initial value of decline exponent and a binomial expansion to estimate the decline rate and the initial production value. The graphical approach is used to determine the initial value of the decline exponent for binomial expansion of hyperbolic Arps equations. Experimental study from some small data sets shows that our proposed method is capable in reducing the number of iterations needed in binomial linearization of hyperbolic decline curves. The main contribution of this work is a development of initial decline exponent estimation using graphical approach where the traditional approach is based on trial and error. Bias in estimating the initial values can produce large number of iterations in estimating the decline exponent. The proposed method is successfully reduce the number of iterations in estimating the decline exponent. Experimentally, this study indicates the existence of lower bound of decline exponent b* for each iteration using hyperbolic binomial expansion.

Abstract

This paper discusses a transient model of the intermittent gas lift technique in an oil well. The model is developed in the gas line, in the tubing-casing annulus, and the tubing. The line-pack and line-drafting phenomena in the gas line are considered in the model. A numerical approach will be used to solve the mathematical model that represents fluid flow during intermittent gas lift injection. The dynamics of important variables in the intermittent gas lift are investigated and analyzed to determine the best production strategy for intermittent gas lift. The variables are film thickness and velocity, slug height and velocity, and gas height and velocity. The relationships between surface injection control parameters (gas injection pressure and gas injection rate) and the velocity and height of film, gas, and liquid are shown in one cycle of the gas lift intermittent process. The higher the gas injection pressure, the faster the gas injection velocity, and the thinner the film thickness in the tubing. In order to obtain clean tubing from film thickness, the gas injection pressure needs to be optimized, which will lead to maintaining compressor discharge pressure availability. Detailed observation of the dynamic performance inside the tubing production well will give the optimum oil production rate for oil wells under a gas lift intermittent production strategy for field application.

Abstract

The Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) has gain popularity as a methodology for real time updates ofreservoir models. A sample of models is updated whenever observation data available. Successfulapplication of EnKF to estimate reservoir properties has been reported. A flow modeling is missing inthis research area. This paper presents the applicability of EnKF in flow modeling for three cases:infinite reservoir, bounded reservoir and one dimensional composite reservoir. The solution of flowequation was derived and used as a modeling component of state space modeling of Kalman filterupdating formula. This three reservoir models shows that the EnKF methodology can be used forupdating the reservoir models.
