Paper: Pressure Transient Analysis Of CO2 and Enriched Gas Injection And Production Wells

A theoretical basis for pressure transient analysis of gas wells with emphasis on the real gas pseudo pressure approach is outlined. An analysis procedure is developed to analyze wells either injecting or producing predominatly CO2 or enriched gas. This procedure is used to calculate flow capacities and skin factors from pressure transient tests in injection and production wells from two CO2 projects. A computer program is documented which aids in the analysis of gas wells with the real gas pseudo pressure. Finally, example calculations are shown for a CO2 well, an enriched gas well, and an enriched gas well contaminated with CO2 / H2S.
