Risk Decision-Making Technology in Gas Reservoir Development at Sichuan Basin by Guo Yu, Haitao Li, Yanru Chen, Linqing Liu, Dongming Zhang

“…Regarding the specific production capacity conditions in gas wells (horizontal and vertical wells) and gas reservoir water invasion, the probability method with Monte Carlo stochastic simulation was used to calculate the production and water invasion volumes. The established decision-making risk technology for gas reservoir development, along with the associated supporting procedures, can be used to evaluate the risks of reservoir development planning, production, and water invasion.…”
