Compression of liquids from the operating wells to the surface applying the sequential approximation

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of pushing water to the surface by injecting gas into the dome of a water pressure system. The layer is completely filled with liquid. This requires the creation of underground gas storages in the central upper part of the water pressure system. For this purpose, the water must be pressurized from the drilled and unloaded wells. A sequential approximation method is used to solve the problem, and formation of the reservoir occurs due to the compression of the fluid through the operating wells. Fluids and gases that enrich the water pressure system, field system and parameters are known. The boundaries of the latter are the contours of the pressure and the flow. Over time, the water pressure in the reservoir has been determined by changing the sum of the volume of the cavity at the edge of the reservoir, the capacity of the created gas and the amount of injected gas. Under the conditions considered, the movement of water in the areas bounded by the contour of the discharge and flow can be considered as radial. Since this area is not very large, the elasticity of the water and the porosity of the reservoir can be ignored. This issue can be considered as the filtration of incompressible fluid in a non-deformable bed. With a relatively small change in flow rate due to the constant pressure in the discharge circuit, the water compressed by the gas flows freely through the wellhead of the discharge well.
