Reserves Estimation for Geopressured Gas Reservoirs aims to introduce the principles and methods for calculating reserves of geopressured gas reservoirs with the material balance method, and to present the advantages, disadvantages and applicable conditions of various methods.
Reserves Estimation for Geopressured Gas Reservoirs, based on manual analysis, explains the analysis methods and calculation steps with more than 30 gas reservoirs examples. It helps gas reservoir engineers to learn the basic principles and calculation methods, and helps to familiarize themselves with the content of the software black box, which in turn helps improve the level of gas field performance analysis as well as the level of gas field development.
- Comprehensive: 22 methods are introduced, such as Hammerlindl method (1971), Ramagost-Farshad method (1981), Roach method (1981), Poston-Chen-Akhtar method (1994), Hedong Sun method (2019, 2020, 2021), et al
- Systematic: offers "one stop shopping" for the gas reservoir engineer on reserve estimation for geopressured gas reservoir: mathematical model, analyse processes, analysis example, pros and cons
- Operational: All the examples can be repeat implement by hand rather than commercial software
- Popularity: It is suitable for the beginner, intermediate and senior person who have the background of reservoir engineering. The perfect reference for the engineer or textbook for the petroleum engineering student
- The book provides a large number of examples about HPHT gas reservoirs. These examples will provide a good reference for reservoir engineers engaged. More than 30 case studies and 180 illustrationsin full coloraid in the retention of key concepts
- This book is a summary and refinement of the author's research over the years, which reflects the combination, promotion, and redevelopment of the gas reservoir engineering theory and field practice. Many of the results have been applied in the Chinas geopressured gas field, improving the scientific, predictable and economic benefits of gas field development
