MODELING OF THE ZONES OF INFLUENCE OF GAS WELLS AT A DEPLETED RESERVOIR by Ioan Alexandru Stoica, Lazăr Avram, Bogdan Simescu, Mihaela Helstern

“…In the paper it is presented a theoretical framework through which the behavior of the depleted field can be followed by discretizing the field and setting some discrete properties (in the case present the deposit pressure), which by expanding the modeling can serve to identify poorly drained areas, which can be exploited in the future, contributing to the increase of the final recovery factor. This discretization was achieved through the system of grid blocks, for which the average properties (temperature, pressure, permeability, etc.) and connectivity between them were modeled through the flow coefficients. …”
