چکیده
decline curve analysis has some advantages over transient well test analysis in which it is not required to shut-in the well and also wellbore storage effects do not exist. few studies have been done on decline curve analysis of naturally fractured reservoirs but there are even some limitations with available models. on the other hand well test could be expensive and in some operational conditions shutting the well to obtain reservoir parameters is almost impossible. therefore, investigating the applicability of homogenous reservoir decline models for production data analysis of naturally fractured reservoirs is necessary. in this paper the most important decline models have been used to evaluate reservoir parameters in three iranian naturally fractured reservoirs and the results have been compared to transient well test analysis. a useful and applicable procedure is also introduced to correct the initial production data when they do not have necessary conditions. the results show that agarwal-gardner and blasingame type curves predict acceptable values for permeability compared to transient well test analysis while fetkovich type curve cannot predict accurate values. determined skin values in all wells of the three studied reservoirs are negative. negative values can be considered to be affected by existing fracture networks in the vicinity of producing wells and also periodic well stimulations. the results also show that neglecting produced condensates of gas condensate reservoirs with liquid-gas ratio (lgr) less than 100 bbl/mmscf cannot significantly affect decline curve analysis results.

متن کاملApplication of Decline Curve Analysis for Estimating Different Properties of Closed Fractured Reservoirs for Vertical Wells
In this paper, decline curve analysis is used for estimating different parameters of bounded naturally fractured reservoirs. This analysis technique is based on rate transient technique, and it is shown that if production rate is plotted against time on a semi-log graph, straight lines are obtained that can be used to determine important parameters of the closed fractured reservoirs. The equati...
متن کاملFoam Application in Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs: A Simulation Study
Fractured carbonate reservoirs account for 25% of world’s total oil resources and for 90% of Iranian oil reserves. Since calcite and dolomite minerals are oil wet, gas oil gravity drainage (GOGD) is known as the most influencing production mechanism. The most important issue within gas injection into fractured media is the channeling problem which makes the efficiency of gas injection process e...
متن کاملRate Decline Analysis of Vertically Fractured Wells in Shale Gas Reservoirs
Based on the porous flow theory, an extension of the pseudo-functions approach for the solution of non-linear partial differential equations considering adsorption-desorption effects was used to investigate the transient flow behavior of fractured wells in shale gas reservoirs. The pseudo-time factor was employed to effectively linearize the partial differential equations of the unsteady flow r...
