Abstract

In this study, the comparison of dry gas injection for vertical and horizontal production well scenarios are investigated by means of conducting a reservoir simulation study for a tight condensate gas reservoir. In order to conduct this study a reservoir pattern has been defined. The selected reservoir pattern is 420x420 m in areal extend and 50 m in thickness. All of the necessary reservoir rock properties, and fluid specifications together with reservoir fluid compositions have been determined considering the data available in the literature. A professional reservoir simulation computer program has been utilized for the realization of this study. The well directional trajectories are determined through a dedicated drilling and completion study. The study proved that horizontal wells are much effective in drainage mechanisms in comparison to vertical wells by the fact that dry gas being able to efficiently reach to horizontal drain sections to prevent condensation of oil in the formation for gas condensate reservoirs. The literature contains research on influence of horizontal well on the retardation of the oil condensation inside the gas condensate reservoirs. This research study is conducted to fill the gap in literature in relation to comparison of the well performance of the vertical and horizontal wells during the dry gas injection.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, bir tight gaz kondensat rezervuarı için dik ve yatay üretim kuyularının bulunduğu senaryolarla kuru gaz enjeksiyonunun etkilerinin karşılaştırılması bir rezervuar simülasyon çalışması ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın yürütülmesi için bir rezervuar kesiti tanımlanmıştır. Seçilen rezervuar alanı 420x420 m genişliğinde ve 50 m kalınlığındadır. Rezervuar kaya özelliklerinin tamamı ve rezervuar akışkan bileşimleri ile birlikte akışkan spesifikasyonları literatürde mevcut olan veriler dikkate alınarak belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın gerçekleştirilmesi için profesyonel bir rezervuar simülasyon bilgisayar programı kullanılmıştır. Kuyuların yörüngeleri özel bir sondaj ve tamamlama çalışması neticesinde belirlenmiştir. Çalışma, gaz kondensat rezervuarlarında petrol sıvılaşmasını engellemede kuru gazın etkili bir biçimde yatay kuyuların drenaj bölgelerine ulaşmasından ötürü yatay kuyuların dik kuyularla karşılaştırıldığında daha etkin olduğunu kanıtlamıştır. Literatür, yatay kuyuların gaz kondensat rezervuarlarında sıvı petrol yoğunlaşmasının gecikmesinin etkisi üzerine araştırmalar içermektedir. Bu araştırma kuru gaz enjeksiyonu sırasında dikey ve yatay kuyuların kuyu performansının karşılaştırılmasıyla ilgili literatürdeki boşluğu doldurmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
