Abstract:

Pengshui block is a typical shale gas reservoir at atmospheric pressure which has lower coefficient of original formation pressure, and usually needs artificial lift recovery after fracturing. In the initial stage, we optimized the electric submersible pump for the drainage gas recovery. This technology was simple, meanwhile, the formation energy declined gradually, the formation liquid supply gradually decreased and the recovered fluid contained impurities such as sand and clay particle, so that it was hard to realize the stable continuous drainage and recovery, and had complex operation precess and high production cost. In order to solve these problems, we researched and applied the jet pump, and optimized the technology parameters and matching technology. At last, we formed a set of jet pump technology suitable for the drainage gas recovery of shale gas at atmospheric pressure to effectively guide the pressure of shale gas recovery.

Key words: Pengshui block, shale gas at atmospheric pressure, jet pump, drainage gas recovery, process parameters, matching process
