Abstract

Summary

Transient temperature, another source to provide reservoir information besides transient pressure, has been received much attention in recent years. Different from the immediate response of transient pressure due to flow rate change, there are obvious time lags between the transient temperature change and flow rate change. In this paper, the nonsynchrony between PDG transient temperature, pressure and flow-rate data was quantitatively investigated with wavelet transform (WT). Field PDG data analysis show that transient pressure changes nearly at the same time of flow rate change. However, due to the adiabatic expansion/compression effect, the time lags between transient temperature and flow rate are significant and cannot be neglected. Field PDG data demonstrates that averagely transient temperature changes about 0.225 hours later than the flow rate. Accurately identifying the time of flow events from PDG temperature data is difficult. The identified flow event time from PDG temperature is the time when Joule-Thomson effect dominates the reservoir temperature change. The flow events with time periods less than the time lags cannot be identified from PDG temperature data due to the adiabatic expansion/compression effect. Compared with the Haar wavelet, the the second derivative of the Gaussian wavelet can more accurately identify flow events from PDG temperature data. This study will be useful for improving the accuracy of transient identification from PDG data, and can benefit transient temperature analysis by clarifying the time lags due to adiabatic expansion/compression effect, and synchronize PDG transient temperature, pressure and flow-rate data for better data processing and analysis.
