Tight Reservoirs

Determining Effective Drainage Area for Tight Gas Wells

The effective drainage area of a tight gas well is controlled primarily by rock and fluid properties, reservoir geometry, and well-completion efficiency. This work focused on the relationship between effective gas permeability, porosity, reservoir geometry, and fracture half-length for dry-gas reservoirs.
