Abstract
In the development of low permeability gas reservoirs, capillary end effect has a significant impact on the flow near the production well, and physical quantities near the production well all change dramatically, which may reduce the oil and gas production. Traditional well model cannot describe this phenomenon. In this paper, based upon the analytical solution of one dimensional radial flow, an alternative numerical well model for low permeability gas reservoir considering the end effect is constructed. The numerical results show that the gas and water productions can be predicted accurately at different grid scales using the proposed well model. In contrast, the Peaceman well model for multi-phase only can get the accurate results when the grid is enough subdivided.
