Abstract:

The elastic two-phase method, also known as the pseudo-steady-state method or reservoir limit testing method, is a pivotal dynamic technique for estimating the original gas in place（OGIP）in well-controlled scenarios. This method is primarily employed in the initial testing of gas wells and for the OGIP assessment in varied lithologies, fault blocks, and fracture types of gas reservoirs. Since 1994, the pressure squared variant of this method has been recognized in the Chinese national oil and gas industry standards across four editions: SY/T 6098—1994，SY/T 6098—2000，SY/T 6098—2010，SY/T 6098—2022. This method, based on the pressure squared calculation, offers a robust approximation compared to its pseudo-pressure counterpart. The theoretical derivation of the elastic two-phase equation for pseudo-pressure, originally proposed by AL-HUSSAINY（1966）, and further simplified using WATTENBARGER's（1968）study on the relationship between μ_gZ and p, allows for representations using both pressure to the first and second powers. Notably, while the pressure to the first power method tends to under-estimate OGIP, the pressure squared method is inclined to over-estimate, as evidenced by practical applications. Currently, there is a lack of substantial literature on the pseudo-pressure elastic two-phase method both domestically and internationally.
