Abstract

Taking a tight sandstone gas reservoir in Sulige area as an example, Arps analysis met hod is used to calculate production decline, and three production decline modes of exponential, hyperbolic and harmonic are explained in detail. The study shows that the decline law of different types of gas wells in a tight sandstone gas reservoir in Sulige area is similar, with exponential decline in the early stage of production and hyperbolic decline in the middle and later stages of production. Different types of reservoirs have different time to enter the boundary control flow, and class I gas well is shorter than class II gas well is shorter than class III gas well. The decline rate of gas wells in different reservoir types is different in different stages, but the decline rate in life cycle is basically the same.
