Abstract Objectives/Scope Compared with the underground nature gas storage (UNGS) onshore, the offshore UNGS is further from residential areas and industrial areas, which can shave the peak of natural gas more safely. However, the investment of offshore engineering is higher. Offshore UNGS with reusing offshore depleted gas reservoir construction can not only solves the problems of offshore engineering structure and wells abandonment but also greatly reduces the investment. Methods, Procedures, Process According to the experience of UNGS onshore, the following factors were considered: reservoir buried depth, working gas volume, distance from land, etc. Based on one depleted gasfield in Bohai Bay, the feasibility analysis of an UNGS was carried out, the impact of the offshore UNGS on the environment, the sealing of the underground gas trap and the integrity of the wellbore were evaluated, and the result proves that the sealing of the underground gas trap of the gas field was good. The natural gas pipeline network subsea can provide transportation for the UNGS and compatible to be transformed into the offshore UNGS. However, for one thing, the poor wellbore integrity conditions and imperfect well pattern constraint the reusing, for another, the capacity of offshore facilities need to be improved. Results, Observations, Conclusions According to the economic evaluation, the investment of offshore depleted gas reservoir reusing as UNGS can be reduced by 56% compared with the construction of a new onshore UNGS, and 32% compared with the offshore gas field abandon. A new idea is provided for peak shaving of natural gas, greatly reducing the investment in gas storage construction. Experience has been accumulated by the feasibility analysis of offshore depleted gas field UNGS and that has a bright future. Novel/Additive Information The limitation of natural conditions on project construction, contingency plans for force majeure such as sea ice, storm and earthquake, etc are necessary to be considered, and its implementation still needs the support of the government and relevant non-governmental organizations

Significant developments have been observed in recent years, in the field of deep part exploration in the Bozhong Sag, Bohai Bay Basin in eastern China. The BZ19-6 large condensate gas field, the largest gas field in the Bohai Bay Basin, was discovered for the first time in a typical oil-type basin. The proven oil and gas geological reserves in the deeply buried hills of the Archean metamorphic rocks, amount to approximately 3 × 10 8 tons of oil equivalent. However, the phase behavior and genetic mechanisms of hydrocarbon fluids are still unclear. In this study, the phase diagram identification method and various empirical statistical methods, such as the block diagram method, φ 1 parameter method, rank number method, and Z -factor method were implemented to comprehensively identify the phase behavior types of the BZ19-6 condensate gas reservoir. The genetic mechanism of the BZ19-6 condensate gas reservoir was investigated in detail through analyses of physical properties of the fluid at high temperatures and pressures, organic geochemical characteristics of condensate oil and gas, and regional tectonic background. Consequently, this study is shown as follows: (1) The BZ19-6 condensate gas reservoir is a part of a secondary condensate gas reservoir with oil rings, formed synthetically since the Neogene period due to multiple factors, such as retrograde evaporation from deep burial and high temperature, inorganic CO2 charging from the deep mantle, and late natural gas invasion. (2) The hydrocarbon accumulation process of the BZ19-6 condensate gas reservoir is as follows: First, a large amount of oil is accumulated at the end of the lower Minghuazhen deposition (5 Ma BP); second, a large amount of natural gas is generated in the deep-source kitchen and mantle-derived inorganic CO2 charged into the early formed oil reservoirs at the end of the upper Minghuazhen deposition (2 Ma BP). As a result, the content of gaseous hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon system of the reservoir increased, which led to large amounts of liquid hydrocarbons dissolved in gaseous hydrocarbons and significantly reduced the critical temperature of the hydrocarbon system. Therefore, existing secondary condensate gas reservoirs are formed when the critical temperature is lower than the formation temperature and it enters the critical condensate temperature range.

AbstractQuantifying natural gas production risk can help guide natural gas exploration and development in Carboniferous gas reservoirs. In this study, the Monte Carlo probability method is used to obtain the probability distribution and growth curve of each production risk factor and production in a Carboniferous gas reservoir in eastern Sichuan. In addition, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to conduct the sensitivity analysis of the risk factors, and the natural gas production and realization probability under different risk factors are obtained. The research results show that: (1) the risk factor–production growth curve and probability distribution are calculated by the Monte Carlo probability method. The average annual production under the stable production stage under different realization probabilities is obtained. The maximum probability range of annual production is $$\left( {43.43 - 126.35} \right) \times 10^{8} {\text{m}}^{3} /{\text{year}}$$ 43.43 - 126.35 × 10 8 m 3 / year , and the probability range is 14.59–92.88%. (2) The risk factor sensitivity analysis is significantly affected by the probability interval. In the entire probability interval, the more sensitive risk factors are the average production of the kilometer-deep well (D) and the production rate in the stable production stage (A). During the exploration and development of natural gas, these two risk factors can be adjusted to increase production.
