Abstract

For the production formulas of the gas reservoirs with bottom water, the models established in the past consider that only a small part of the gas layer is perforated and the entire region under the perforated zone is considered as the hemispheric flow, ignoring effects of the opening degree and formation anisotropy for gas production. The reality illustrates that the thick gas reservoirs may be larger opening degree and the flow hemispherical only exists near wellbore. The opening degree and the stratum anisotropy have great influence on production of gas well. Based on the previous models, this paper improves the models and deduces the productivity equation considering skin effect and the gas non-Darcy flow characteristics of the thick gas reservoirs with bottom water and analyzes the influence of the opening degree on the gas well productivity. The results of the examples show that the equations considering the skin effect, the non-Darcy flow and formation anisotropy are more realistic.
