Simulation of the Alden gas storage reservoir
To evaluate the deliverability of its Alden gas storage reservoir, determine the location of bottlenecks, and investigate ways of increasing output, Cities Service Co. devised a two-dimensional, single-phase gas model that combines the reservoir model with the surface gathering system. Researchers obtained a reliable representation of the reservoir's behavior by using injection and production volumes to history-match the wellhead pressures of two observation wells. Although the rock and reservoir definition data were limited, the reservoir pore volume was known from the gas volume produced during the original depletion of the reservoir. Computer-simulation runs illustrated how the reservoir should perform in the future under a variety of operating conditions. New wells drilled in the undeveloped portion of the reservoir should increase the total deliverability of the field.
