Abstract

This study was conducted to predict the behavior and the rise of the GWC, assuming that it remains horizontal, and to determine its effect on ultimate gas recovery. Several factors control the rise of the GWC. Some of the most important factors are the size of the aquifer, gas production rate, initial reservoir pressure, and formation permeability. These factors account for the abandonment of a number of gas reservoirs at extraordinarily high pressure. Several methods have been developed for predicting the volume of water influx into a reservoir; the van Everdingen-Hurst method is used in this study. The performance calculated in this study was based on the material-balance equation for gas reservoirs.
