Summary This study demonstrates that production-data analysis of variable-bottomhole-flowing-pressure/variable-rate gas wells under boundary-dominated flow (BDF) is possible by use of a density-based approach. In this approach, governing equations are expressed in terms of density variables and dimensionless viscosity/compressibility ratios. Previously, the methodology was successfully used to derive rescaled exponential models for gas-rate-decline analysis of wells primarily producing at constant bottomhole pressure (Ayala and Ye 2013a, b; Ayala and Zhang 2013; Ye and Ayala 2013; Zhang and Ayala 2014). For the case of natural-gas systems experiencing BDF, gas-well-performance analysis has been made largely possible by invoking the concepts of pseudotime, normalized pseudotime, or material-balance pseudotime. The density-based methodology rigorously derived in this study, however, does not use any type of pseudotime calculations, even for variable-rate/variable-pressure-drawdown cases. The methodology enables straightforward original-gas-in-place calculations and gas-well-performance forecasting by means of type curves or straight-line analysis. A number of field and numerical case studies are presented to showcase the capabilities of the proposed approach.

Abstract The tight gas field is greatly affected by pressure in the development process. Due to the different production time and formation pressure of each well in the gas field, the production characteristics of the gas well are obviously different. After the gas well sees water, it is impossible to formulate production measures efficiently and accurately. Therefore, by analyzing the production performance characteristics of gas wells, this paper carries out the classification research of tight gas wells, and formulates the corresponding production measures according to the classification results. Taking gas well energy and liquid production intensity as the reference standard of gas well classification, the dynamic parameter indexes characterizing gas well energy and liquid production intensity are established. Gas wells with different production characteristics are divided into six categories by clustering algorithm: high energy-low liquid, high energy-high liquid, medium energy-low liquid, medium energy high-liquid, low energy-low liquid, low energy-high liquid. Then the classification method of tight gas well is formed. In this paper, 50 wells in Linxing block are selected as the research object. The research results show that most of the wells in Linxing block are located in area V, belonging to low energy and low liquid wells. It is recommended to implement intermittent production. The classification based on gas well energy and liquid production intensity are of guiding significance for the formulation of production measures in the Linxing block.
