Presentation transcript:

Transient data during a pressure build-up can be analyzed to try and understand gas condensate well performance, by plotting the change in pseudopressure and its derivative [with respect to log(Dt)] on a log-log plot. The build-up analysis is influenced by a near-well condensate bank with reduced krg. Using a single-phase gas pseudopressure to interpret well test data usually requires a radial-composite model with 2 zones. This will give information on the gas permeability in the bank and the size of the bank.  Some wells may show 3-region composite radial behavior, caused by increased gas mobility at high capillary numbers near to the well. This is an area of current research.  Using two-phase pseudopressure to interpret well test data requires a set of relative permeability curves, krg=f(krg/kro,Nc), and uses the steady-state flow theory (e.g. Fevang-Whitson method) to calculate pseudopressure, resulting in ‘normal semi-log’ radial behavior.  Multi-rate tests can also be used to understand condensate well performance, by history matching single-well simulation models. This is usually the most reliable way of confirming the benefit of capillary number effects. 
