Abstract:

At present Sulige Gas Field holds the distinction of being the largest in terms of natural gas reserves and annual production among tight sandstone gas reservoirs in China. However, as development progresses, there is a noticeable decline in the quality of gas field reserves and an increasing fragmentation of untapped reserves, escalating the uncertainties surrounding future development. This study builds upon a deepened geological and gas reservoir engineering comprehension acquired during earlier phases of gas field development. It methodically identifies the factors influencing the advantageous development of the gas field and formulates technical countermeasures to ensure its sustainable development. Key findings from the research include: ① An empirical analysis, centered on economic production, evaluates the economic benefits of each block within the gas field. This model assesses the current benefit status and directs future overall development strategies. ② To foster the continued advancement of the tight gas industry within the field, the study evaluates the benefits of individual blocks and explores supportive measures for effective development. These measures include classified management and specific technical strategies, derived from geological and gas reservoir engineering perspectives. This approach culminates in the formulation of technical countermeasures aimed at enhancing the effective development of Sulige Gas Field, thereby ensuring its continued economic viability.

Key words: Sulige Gas Field, tight gas, open flow, internal rate of return, beneficial development
