The classical gas-well decline analysis relies largely on Arps’ empirical decline models, or modern production decline analysis associating with pseudo-variables. The explicit original gas in place determination methodology is extended from homogeneous reservoir to naturally fractured reservoir under constant or variable bottom-hole pressure conditions in gas-well rate decline analysis. Then, the relationship between gas flow rate and average reservoir pseudo-pressure in the boundary-dominated flow period is re-derived. This formula is in the same format with the equation for homogeneous reservoir by due to the introduction of a new productivity index parameter that captures the inter-porosity flow between fracture and matrix in the natural fractured reservoir. The proposed step-by-step procedures are applied here, which enable the estimation of decline exponent and the explicit and straightforward determination of the original gas in place without any iterative calculations. Four simulated cases prove that our methodology can be successfully used in heterogeneous naturally fractured reservoirs with irregular boundary under constant or variable bottom-hole pressure conditions. 1.","PeriodicalId":36335,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Geo-Energy Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41709767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no precedent exists for research on the multi-label identification of igneous rocks. This study proposes a multi-label data augmented cascade forest method for the prediction of multi-label lithology, lithofacies and fluid using 9 conventional logging data features of cores collected from the eastern depression of the Liaohe Basin in northeastern China. Data augmentation is performed on an unbalanced multi-label training set using the multi-label synthetic minority over-sampling technique. Sample training is achieved by a multi-label cascade forest consisting of predictive clustering trees. These cascade structures possess adaptive feature selection and layer growth mechanisms. Given the necessity to focus on all possible outcomes and the generalization ability of the method, a simulated well model is built and then compared with 6 typical multi-label learning methods. The outperformance of this method in the evaluation metrics validates its superiority in terms of accuracy and generalization ability. The consistency of the predicted results and geological data of actual wells verifies the reliability of our method. Furthermore, the results show that it can be used as a reliable means of multi-label prediction of igneous lithology, lithofacies and reservoir fluids.","PeriodicalId":36335,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Geo-Energy Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42088396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
