Abstract

A case study of preparing a field for underground gas storage (UGS) is presented. Different scenarios are investigated by parallel simulation and the optimum number of wells is measured. The number of wells could lead to different average rates and field pressure. By considering different factors, the optimum number of wells can be investigated as the number by which high and constant rate is injected with respect to BHP pressure, preparation time, and costs of wells. The case in which the rate is constant and is not decreased rapidly is the optimum case since a large amount of gas is injected with constant rate. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the International Gas Union Research Conference (IGRC 2014) (Copenhagen, Denmark 9/17-19/2014).
