Modelling Pressure Dynamic of Oil–Gas Two-Phase Flow in Three-Zone Composite Double-Porosity Media Formation with Permeability Stress Sensitivity

In view of the flow zoning phenomenon existing in condensate gas reservoirs and the complex pore structure and strong heterogeneity of carbonate rock reservoirs, this study investigates the pressure dynamic behavior during the development process of such gas reservoirs by establishing corresponding models. The model divides the reservoir into three zones. The fluid flow patterns and reservoir physical property characteristics in the three regions are different. In particular, the fracture system in zone 1 has permeability stress sensitivity. The model is solved and the sensitivity analysis of the key parameters is carried out. The research results show that reservoir flow can be divided into 12 stages. Stress sensitivity affects all stages except the wellbore storage stage and becomes increasingly obvious over time. The closed boundary causes fracture closure from the lack of external energy, reducing effective flow channels and triggering the boundary response stage earlier. The increased condensate oil increases the flow resistance and pressure loss, and shortens the duration of the flow stage. The research suggests that improving reservoir conditions and enhancing fluid fluidity can reduce pressure loss and increase production capacity, providing valuable theoretical and practical guidance for the development of carbonate rock condensate gas reservoirs.

Abstract

In view of the flow zoning phenomenon existing in condensate gas reservoirs and the complex pore structure and strong heterogeneity of carbonate rock reservoirs, this study investigates the pressure dynamic behavior during the development process of such gas reservoirs by establishing corresponding models. The model divides the reservoir into three zones. The fluid flow patterns and reservoir physical property characteristics in the three regions are different. In particular, the fracture system in zone 1 has permeability stress sensitivity. The model is solved and the sensitivity analysis of the key parameters is carried out. The research results show that reservoir flow can be divided into 12 stages. Stress sensitivity affects all stages except the wellbore storage stage and becomes increasingly obvious over time. The closed boundary causes fracture closure from the lack of external energy, reducing effective flow channels and triggering the boundary response stage earlier. The increased condensate oil increases the flow resistance and pressure loss, and shortens the duration of the flow stage. The research suggests that improving reservoir conditions and enhancing fluid fluidity can reduce pressure loss and increase production capacity, providing valuable theoretical and practical guidance for the development of carbonate rock condensate gas reservoirs.
