A New Method for Determining Gas Threshold Pressure Gradients in
Low-permeability Rock

Many experiment results show that there exists a threshold pressure gradient when gas is percolating in low permeability
reservoir. As it is difficult to directly determine the threshold pressure gradient,the low-pressure and low-velocity
percolation experiment is the usual method used to obtain the threshold pressure gradient. However,the effect of gas slippage
under low pressure does not work under the formation condition. Thus there exist differences between the threshold pressure
gradient value obtained by Wufan’s method and the actual results. In order to get a more accurate value of threshold pressure
gradient,a new method which eliminates the slippage effect is presented this paper and provides a more accurate threshold
pressure gradient for developing low-permeability gas fields.

Abstract:

Many experiment results show that there exists a threshold pressure gradient when gas is percolating in low permeability
reservoir. As it is difficult to directly determine the threshold pressure gradient,the low-pressure and low-velocity
percolation experiment is the usual method used to obtain the threshold pressure gradient. However,the effect of gas slippage
under low pressure does not work under the formation condition. Thus there exist differences between the threshold pressure
gradient value obtained by Wufan’s method and the actual results. In order to get a more accurate value of threshold pressure
gradient,a new method which eliminates the slippage effect is presented this paper and provides a more accurate threshold
pressure gradient for developing low-permeability gas fields.
