As the major gas resource of the West-East Gas Transmission Project, Kela 2 gas field plays an important role in the
natural gas industry development and social demand in China. After 17 years development, annual gas production
of Kela 2 gas field is stable in over 5 billion cubic meters, which has great reference value for the other gas field’s
development. Kela 2 gas field is in the middle-late development period at present, some gas wells experienced
water flooding in advance, which has resulted in a productivity decrease. Main challenges at current development
period are development scheme adjustments such as water invasion prevention, water invasion control, production
allocation optimization, and the conventional geological modeling cannot meet the scale requirement for the
development scheme adjustment. By using the fine scale geological modeli.. View more»
