Abstract

Pressure
surge in a pipe due to sudden flow rate change or full-stop of fluid flow is a
pressure wave propagating in fluid along the pipe. This phenomenon has been
used to determine the flow rate and to detect and monitor changes in effective
flow diameter. It turns out that the pressure surge, also known as pressure
pulse, can be used to estimate the formation transmissivity and storativity in
the near wellbore region. In this study, propagation of pressure pulse
generated by sudden valve closure is simulated with a transient pipe flow
model, and it is coupled with a transient analytical reservoir model. The
coupled model is used to estimate the reservoir parameters by history matching
approach, which is to iterate the transmissivity and the storativity values
until an acceptable match is obtained between the measured and simulated
pressure history at the upstream of valve. The developed modeling and
estimation scheme is applied with two data sets from a field well test to
estimate reservoir parameters. The reservoir parameters transmissivity and
storativity in the near wellbore region were obtained from the history matching
analysis. Matching analysis with the coupled model on the recorded wellhead
pressure during two tests showing obvious different flowing conditions points
out very similar reservoir parameter values.

Abstract

Bir akışkanın aktığı boruda ani akış hızı
değişikliği veya akışın aniden durdurulması boru içerisinde yayılan basınç
dalgalanmasına sebep olur. Bu doğal olgu akış hızının ölçümü ve borunun etkin
çapının belirlenmesi ve gözlenmesi hesaplamalarında kullanılmıştır. Basınç
darbesi olarak da bilinen basınç dalgası kuyu yakınında formasyon geçirimliliği
ve storativitesinin tahmininde kullanılabileceği öngörülmektedir. Bu çalışmada,
ani vana kapanmasıyla oluşturulan basınç darbesinin yayılımı geçici rejim boru
akış modeli ile simüle edilip, bu model analitik geçici rejim rezervuar modeli
ile birleştirilmiştir. Birleştirilen model, vana girişinde ölçülen ve
hesaplanan basınç değişim verilerini eşleştirme yaklaşımıyla rezervuar
parametrelerinin iteratif olarak tahmini işleminde kullanılmıştır. Geliştirilen
bu modelleme ve tahmin yaklaşımı bir kuyudaki iki kuyu test verisine rezervuar
parametrelerini tahmin etme amacıyla uygulanmıştır. Kuyu civarındaki
geçirimlilik ve storativite değerleri ölçülen/hesaplanan veri eşleştirme
yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Kuyuda iki farklı akış durumunda ölçülen basınç
değişimi bilgisinin birleştirilmiş modelle gerçekleştirilen eşleştirme analizi
rezervuar parametreleri için çok benzer değerleri işaret etmektedir.
