Statistical data correlations in tight gas reservoirs
Tight gas reservoirs generate many difficult problems for geologists, engineers, and managers. Cumulative gas recovery (thus income) per well is limited because of low gas flow rates and low recovery efficiencies when compared to most high permeability wells. To make a marginal well into a commercial well, the engineer must increase the recovery efficiency by using optimal completion techniques and decrease the costs required to drill, complete, stimulate, and operate a tight gas well. To minimize the costs of drilling and completion, many managers want to reduce the amount of money spent to log wells and totally eliminate money spent on extras such aswell testing. However, in these low-permeability layered systems, the engineers and geologists often need more data than is required to analyze high permeability reservoirs.
