Modern Palacio-Blasingame Type Curve Method to Determine Well Production Characteristics and Reserves in Indonesia Field
Keywords:
decline curve analysis, type curve, Palacio-Blasingame type curve, production characteristics, reservesAbstract
Well production characteristics and reserves are an important parameter to be known to maximize the production optimization and plan of further development. Usually, well production characteristics can be obtained from testing the well then flow rate versus time or cumulative production curve is plotted and extrapolated. This conventional decline curve method describes the production decline of well at a constant bottom hole flowing pressure and in boundary dominated flow period, which is not suitable for data analysis from the transient flow period. Also, it can be a time and cost consume if we apply this test to the giant field that has so many wells. Through this modern Palacio-Blasingame Type Curve Method, we can combine the available variable that is daily production data alongside the reservoir data that consider the production at variable bottom hole flowing pressure and the gas pressure-volume-temperature changing with reservoir pressure. Thus, we can obtain more advance and more accurate well production characteristics and reserves as well as save more valuable time and cost by applying this modern decline curve method compared to the conventional decline curve method.
