Abstract
oil and gas production plays an important role in
powering economies, industries, and societies around the
world, This study's objective objective is to Analysis of
the productivity of horizontal oil and gas wells ,
One of the best techniques used in production analysis is
the productivity index which is difined as a measure used
to evaluate the efficiency of production processes
in this project we used several models and correlations to
analyze the productivity of the horizontal well such as
Joshi’s Correlation and Giger-Reiss-Jourdan’s Correlation
and Borisov’s Correlation and We will study the effect of
changing permeability, length, and thickness on the well’s
productivity
Introduction
1-1 The Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR)
establishing the Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) for a horizontal well using the Stabilized
Pseudo-Steady State Productivity Index is a fundamental concept in petroleum engineering, crucial
for understanding and optimizing the production of hydrocarbons from oil and gas wells. It
establishes the connection between the flow rate of fluids from a reservoir and the corresponding
bottomhole pressure at the wellbore. By analyzing this relationship, engineers can assess well
productivity, make informed decisions about reservoir management, and enhance overall field
performance. The IPR is a key tool in the field of reservoir engineering, aiding in the efficient
extraction of valuable resources from subsurface formations.
The Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) has various practical applications in the oil and gas
industry:
1. Optimizing Production Rates: IPR helps optimize production rates by understanding how the
reservoir responds to different flow rates. This aids in maximizing the recovery of hydrocarbons.
2. Well Performance Analysis: It provides insights into the well's performance under various
operating conditions, allowing engineers to make informed decisions about production strategies.
3. Reservoir Management: IPR is essential for effective reservoir management, enabling engineers to
assess the reservoir's productivity, identify potential issues, and plan interventions to enhance
recovery.
4. Well Test Analysis: IPR is often used to interpret well test data, helping to estimate reservoir
parameters and characterize the reservoir's behavior.
where:
- \(PI\) is the Productivity Index,
- \(Q\) is the well's actual production rate, and
- \(\Delta P\) is the pressure drawdown in the reservoir.
The productivity index provides valuable information about the efficiency of fluid flow from the
reservoir to the wellbore. A higher productivity index indicates a more efficient well, capable of
producing higher volumes of hydrocarbons for a given pressure drawdown.
Reservoir engineers use the productivity index in conjunction with other parameters, such as
reservoir pressure, wellbore radius, and fluid properties, to assess and optimize well performance. It
plays a crucial role in well testing, reservoir simulation, and the overall understanding of reservoir
behavior.
