The gas-water relations of low-permeability tight sand gas reservoir are complex and not necessarily linked to the structural relief, phenomenon that water is distributed in high structural position while gas in low structural position is common what makes it difficult to make a refined description of gas-water relations and distribution low. The article takes Zizhou gas field for example, establishes 4 gas-water relations modes of single well to analyze some profiles where there is abnormal phenomenon water up gas down, the fact is that water and gas are distributed in different sand bodies and Zizhou Gas Field is not a deep basin gas reservoir. The research shows the phenomenon that water up gas down does not exist, the gas-water relations are normal. The research results have certain significance for the determination of gas-water distribution law.

Daqing Wuzhan gas field is a deformable low permeability gas filed. Based on the lab study of changing law of porosity and permeability with confining pressure, a numerical simulation model of deformable low permeability gas reservoir is established and is solved by using IMPES method. Comparing with the result of eclipse shows the method is valid. Field example shows the dynamic geological reserves of Wuzhan gas field is low and the new wells should be drilled at the area where there is production potential and larger effective thickness. Comparison of results obtained from different models with field data shows the result considering medium deformation is more reasonable.

For a better guidance of production, a combination of drill stem testing (DST), regional statistical method and pseudo steady-state seepage theory model was used to analyze the productivity of N gas reservoir in light of the complex geological features of the low-permeability thick-layer. Firstly, the DST method was used to test the N gas reservoir. And then the binomial pseudo-pressure method, binomial pressure square method and exponential method were used to interpret the test data of DST of this formation. Finally, the binomial pseudo-pressure interpretation method was used and the results showed that only the productivity of H3b layer was successfully tested of the four. The H3a, H4b and H5a layers are ultra-low pore and permeability gas reservoirs and the productivity of these layers can’t be explained by the available data due to the short testing time and a non-stationary state of testing pressure and quantity, resulting in the failure of the test. The productivity of the main layers were estimated and forecasted by the regional statistical method and the theoretical model of pseudo steady-state seepage, taking the arithmetic average value of the regional statistical method and the theoretical formula as the final value of absolute open flow rates(AOF). The final calculation results are as follows: the AOF of main gas layers H3a, H3b, H4b and H5a in N gas field is 31.30×104m3/d, 388.92×104m3/d, 20.82×104m3/d and 30.80×104m3/d, respectively. This method may sheds light on verifying and calculating the productivity of gas wells and determining the reasonable production allocation of gas wells.

This Gs64 gas reservoir is a condensate gas reservoir which is relatively integrated with low porosity and low permeability found in Dagang Oilfield in recent years. The condensate content is as high as 610g/m3. At present, there are few reports about the well spacing of similar gas reservoirs at home and abroad. Therefore, determining the reasonable well spacing of the gas reservoir is important for ensuring the optimal development effect and economic benefit of the gas field development. This paper discusses the reasonable well spacing of the deep and low permeability gas reservoir from the aspects of percolation mechanics, gas reservoir engineering and numerical simulation. considering there exist the start-up pressure gradient in percolation process of low permeability gas reservoir, this paper combined with productivity equation under starting pressure gradient, established the formula of gas well spacing with the formation pressure and start-up pressure gradient. The calculation formula of starting pressure gradient and well spacing of gas wells. Adopting various methods to calculate values of gas reservoir spacing are close to well testing' radius, so the calculation method is reliable, which is very important for the determination of reasonable well spacing in low permeability gas reservoirs.

Low permeability, low abundance, water-bearing gas reservoirs are widely distributed in China, and their reserves constitute 85% of all kinds of reservoirs in current. It has important realistic meanings to develop them. Determining of reasonable gas well production is the prerequisite to achieving long-term high productivity and stable production. This paper takes Shanggu gas field at Sulige Gas Field for example, respectively from the dynamic data analogy methods, the pressure drop rate statistical methods, gas curve methods, production system nodal analysis methods, and studied the reasonable capacity of the low permeability gas reservoir. Through comprehensive analysis，the comprehensive technical indexes about single well reasonable production was determined.

In order to reveal the gas–water distribution and formation mechanism of the low-permeability sandstone gas reservoir, the gas reservoir distribution and the formation mechanism in a low-permeability sandstone gas reservoir are investigated using data obtained from a physical simulation experiment of gas percolation. The exploration and experimenting for petroleum in the upper Paleozoic gas pool of the Sulige gas field in the Ordos basin in this paper. Results showed that the gas reservoir is characterized by low gas saturation, a complex distribution relationship of gas–water, and weak gas–water gravity differentiation. The characteristics of gas distribution are closely related to permeability, gas flow, and migration force. The capillary pressure difference is the main driving force of gas accumulation. There exists a threshold pressure gradient as gas flows in low-permeability sandstone. The lower that permeability, the greater the threshold pressure gradient. When the driving force cannot overcome the threshold pressure (minimal resistance), the main means of gas migration is diffusion; when the driving force is between minimal and maximal resistance, gas migrates with non-Darcy flow; when the driving force is greater than maximal resistance, gas migrates with Darcy flow. The complex gas migration way leads to complicated gas- water distribution relationship. With the same driving force, gas saturation increases with the improvement of permeability, thus when permeability is greater than 0.15 × 10−3 µ m2, gas saturation could be greater than 50%.
