Knowing gas reservoir geological characteristics by applying numerical simulation technique - A gas reservoir example

As an analyzing means of reservoir engineering, the numerical simulation technique can assist the reservoir engineers not only in simulating and predicting the conventional performance rules on the basis of the known geological model but also in knowing again the reservoir geological characteristics and pressure system dynamic properties. Through applying the numerical simulation to the Carboniferous gas reservoir in Wubaiti Field, it is indicated that when the numerical simulation technique does not be simply used as to reproduce reservoir performance change rules but is deep-going to knowing again the geological characteristics, the superiority and vitality of the numerical simulation technique may be really embodied.
