Field evaluation demonstrates dynamic reserve calculation errors below 10% across 23 oil wells, indicating modified compressibility coefficients enhance fractured-vuggy reservoir estimations.
The low comprehensive compressibility coefficient characteristic of fracture-vuggy reservoirs often leads to imprecise dynamic reserve calculations. This study introduces a novel method for estimating dynamic reserves, which incorporates a modified comprehensive compressibility coefficient to enhance accuracy. This methodology has been applied to 23 wells in the Tahe Oilfield, resulting in error rates substantially lower than those associated with traditional techniques, thereby markedly enhancing the accuracy of dynamic reserve estimations. Specifically, for karst cave and fracture-vuggy reservoirs, the error rate in dynamic reserve calculations is reduced to under 10%, surpassing conventional methods by more than fivefold. In the case of fractured reservoirs, despite minor fluctuations in error rates due to stress sensitivity, diversion capacity, and channel variations, the proposed method still demonstrates a significant reduction in error rates compared to standard practices.
