This manuscript is focused on the temperature changes around the well in a low to tight permeability gas reservoir.
We have evaluated the potential impacts of changes in temperature on reservoir performance and potential reservoir and flow assurance issues.
The impacts of different parameters including reservoir properties, well trajectories and directions, reservoir fluid composition and operational strategies have been analyzed through a detailed sensitivity study.
This study showed that temperature reduction experiences the highest degree of sensitivity with regards to parameters that impact inflow.
The results show that, when dealing with stimulated low permeability gas reservoirs, production strategy, permeability and well design play a vital role in maximizing the hydrocarbon production and minimizing the chance of gas hydrate creation.
