Variable-Permeability Well Test Model and Pressure Response of Non-Darcy Flow in Low-Permeability Reservoirs

Article Preview

Abstract:

Considering the variable-permeability effect of non-Darcy flow in low-permeability reservoirs, this work set up a two-dimensional model with boundaries. The implicit finite difference algorithm was employed to solve the well test model, and typical curves in log-log scale by considering the effects of variable-permeability and non-Darcy flow were obtained. The results show that, in reservoirs with impermeable boundary, the upturned part of the pressure derivative curve caused by boundary effect will be covered by that of non-Darcy effect, indicating boundary effect is postponed to appear. The more of the non-Darcy effects result in less obvious upturn of the typical curves. The upturn of typical curves and the effect of boundary are enhanced by increasing the numbers of impermeable boundaries or by decreasing the distance from the well to the boundary.
