Undergraduate Catalog

PEEG 437 Natural Gas Engineering

This course covers gas reservoirs rock and fluid Properties, including Darcy and non-Darcy flow phenomena near gas wells. Gas reserves estimation using linearized MBE and Decline Curve Analysis will be evaluated. Decline curves analysis of Arps and Fetkovich will be studied. Gas flow and gas well testing to evaluate reservoir characteristics will be covered, considering the pressure solution, p2 solution, real gas pseudo pressure solution of the gas transient flow equation. Deliverability of gas wells will be determined using multi-rate draw down testing, flow after flow testing, isochronal testing, and modified isochronal testing. Prediction of future performance and ultimate recovery form gas reservoirs will be studied.
