摘要

The role of the gravity drainage mechanism in oil production from fractured reservoirs is considerable. Therefore, quantitative prediction of this phenomenon is very crucial. This work is a continuation of our past research on developing the material balance equation for fractured reservoirs (Rahmati et al., J. Porous Media, vol. 22, no. 3, pp. 321-342, 2019). In this study, the forced-controlled gravity drainage phenomenon was numerically simulated. Then it was scaled at different times before breakthrough using dimensionless analysis and the extended material balance equation. A sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate the effects of scaling groups on oil recovery by the gravity drainage mechanism. It was found that scaling the forced-controlled gravity drainage in a fractured reservoir with constant fracture porosity requires the matching of three static generated dimensionless scaling groups (equivalent matrix's capillary pressure threshold height to matrix height, oil to gas mobility ratio, and gas gravity number). The gravity drainage process is formulated at different time frames using experimental design and proper regression procedure. A closed match with R-square values greater than 0.985 at different time frames is observed between the predicted oil recovery by gravity drainage employing the proposed formulation and calculated values based on the numerical simulation results.
